Structuring your literature unit around the main idea - because all aspects of texts lead here!

Just as all roads lead to Rome (so the saying goes) so do the aspects of literature in our text studies lead to the MAIN IDEA. In this vlog, I go over:  A reminder to make clear to students the difference between THEME and the MAIN IDEA.  The ELEMENTS of literature.  ASPECTS of literature.  Using a TEMPLATE (mind map/infographic) to help students gather evidence that leads to a main idea.  Using this template to help students go one step further to discuss how aspects WORK TOGETHER to illustrate a main idea.  SENTENCE FRAMES to help students write about the main idea. 🗒️For the notes – ie, the blog post: https://www.driveresources.org/post/t...
