This was a great resource because of the variety of activities available. Students become bored with the same presentation of material, so this met all of our needs and kept them engaged.

My students enjoyed recounting stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures and determining their central message, lesson, or moral.
anelementaryeducator –
My students really enjoyed this resource! It stated that it was applicable for up to second grade; however, I did not find the activities as rigorous as the demands of second grade. Overall, it was a great resource though!
Jennifer H. –
Thank you for providing such a great resource! My students faces light up when they see that we are making one of the “crafts”.
Emily H. –
I love the various ways to showcase main idea and details. I only used the chair graphic organizer and my students loved it. It’s easy to use and to put together for a bulletin board display. My only issue with this resource is that there are no lines provided for students to write their answers. I work with younger students so having lines would’ve been easier for them to write their responses with.

Raquel H. –
A great resource for teaching the main idea! It not only included engaging templates for teachers and students to fill in but also includes multiple activities that don’t involve reading a book/novel.
Stephanie M. –
This resource made a lot of sense. Students had lots of ways to consider main ideas/details. If they didn’t latch on the first time, there were different opportunities. Thank you for this resource. The mystery bag idea was a great way to start, and I loved printing off the cards and giving students chances to go around the room coming up with the main ideas. Great and thorough resource!
