GC223-S2 – Main Idea and Detail Journaling – As directed, Alexa or Instructor will guide students, individually, with a partner, in a small group and/or class, to identify the main ideas and details, while reading.

If reading non-consumable or permanent materials, such as hard-bound books or a computer screen, students will be directed to journal the main ideas and details, using the journaling format provided. Upon completion of journaling, a study sheet can be created by folding the journal page in half vertically, after the first column. (Option – Reading Journal Entry)
