This is a very thorough ppt explaining the difference between a topis and main idea and also how to find each. Introduces vocab words implicit and explicit in a way the students would understand. Love it! Thank you!!

This is unbelievable! It's the powerpoint I've had "in my head" but never created because it's so much work and so little time! I will definitely check out other products by this person! This is detailed, easy to understand, and provides several examples for practice.

This is an excellent slideshow. It is kid friendly which means it is easy to understand. Great job!!

Excellent Power Point! You did a wonderful job at breaking the concept down into little pieces. It really gives students a chance to practice each "step" before putting them together to "find the main idea".

Love this ppt! Will definitely be using it with my 8th graders. Where are the frogs?
July 13, 2011
Emily Kissner (TpT Seller)
Thanks so much! The frogs are much easier to see when you project the ppt on a larger screen. In the first one, I think the frog is a little lower than the center; in the second, it's on a lily pad. My students have found ones that I missed. :)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
When I can't find what I want for my classroom, I create it myself. I always have a camera in hand, ready to record my experiences to create engaging articles to share with my students. You'll see my favorite places in my PowerPoints and teaching packs! Besides writing for TpT, I have also written two books on the topic of teaching reading: Summarizing, Paraphrasing, and Retelling and The Forest AND the Trees: Helping Readers Identify Details in Texts and Tests.
