6.5G - The student is expected to evaluate details read to determine key ideas.

  • Some details in a text will not only support but also help to fill in understanding of the key ideas. These details tell a reader what is happening, who is affected, and why the idea matters or is being discussed in the first place. Other details cover fewer specifics and provide general information that adds to the background knowledge. You must consider the intended purpose of a detail in order to evaluate whether the detail is effective.
  • Key ideas are ideas that must be understood to fully comprehend the meaning of the larger text. While reading, you should look for the relationships between details and how those details are organized so they can determine which key ideas the details focus on and support. If you are unable to figure out what the key ideas are in a text, you cannot determine the overarching message of a text.
