ReplyDeleteThe main idea in this section of my book is where cheetahs live. I know this because in the text it says most cheetahs live on the continent of Africa. A few live outside of Africa in the country of iran.
ReplyDeleteI am reading an article about Chimps. The main idea is that Chimps are very much like human beings in many different ways. One peice of evidence from the text is, "Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, sharing more than 98 percent of our genetic blueprint. Humans and chimps are also thought to share a common ancestor who lived some four to eight million years ago." This peice of evidence helps me as a reader find the main idea because it is telling you what the section is going to be about.
ReplyDeleteI am reading an article about Beagles. The main idea about this section is that Beagles can be different colors such as black, red, blue mottle. IN the next section is about how Beagles must have part of there tail white, or they are not a true Beagle.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea in (The Wildest Plays In Sports) is to inform the reader about the wildest plays to ever happen in sports. I know this because for example it says 5 interceptions in a game by DeAngelo Hall.This tells me it is wild because it says (A total of 19 players have intercepted 4 passes in a game but nobody has intercepted 5.) therefore I know that that was wild.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading about bottlenose dolphins. Bottlenose dolphins travel in social groups. They eat mullet, mackerel, herring, and cod fish. They also eat squid. In the wild they can swim over 18 miles per hour. There average weight is 150-200 pounds. A bottlenose dolphin' s skin is smooth and rubbery. A coastal bottlenose weigh's about 190-260 pound's. The rounded part of there head is called melon. There eye's are on the corner of there head and near the mouth. Bottlenose dolphins reath throuh there blow hole.
ReplyDeleteIn the article Searching for Snow Leopards I know to look at the article and see the headings. So first I looked at the heading and it was cat scat. I know that scat means to run away or leave quickly and snow leopards are cats. So I made an inference and guessed that paragraph was about snow leopards running away. I read the paragraph and found out scat also means poop! The section was actually about a scientist collecting leopard poo. I looked at the other 2 headings and had no clue what they might be about. Those headings were snow leopard selfie and movers and shakers. Here were my guesses. My guess for snow leopard selfies was the leopards were taking selfies which is totally unbelievable if it is true. For movers and shakers my inference was it was about how snow leopards move a lot so it is hard to see them because they move really fast.
ReplyDeleteI am reading the article Bald Eagles and I think the main idea is that Bald Eagles are very special. In the text it says that Bald Eagles were endangered but there has been an increase in population. I think that makes them special because they aren't going to be extinct. It also said that they are the country's emblem. I think that is special because no other bird is the country's emblem. Also it said that they are the largest raptor I the world. Overall, Bald Eagles are special in a lot of ways and they are not endangered anymore
DeleteI read an article about snowy owls it tells us about how they migrated to the U.S.In this section it talks about how this gives scientists a big chance to study and watch the birds.The main idea of this section is that this can really help scientists with their studies and teach us more about snowy owls.
ReplyDeleteThe article I am reading is called The Courage To Climb.
ReplyDeleteThe main idea of the section "The Road To Recovery" Is that Colton Carlson had to have prosthetic legs and after that he heard that a organization called disabled sports USA would be going to climb the highest mountain in South America.And nothing could stop Colton from going.I think this is the main idea of this section because I found this quote in the text,"There was no other choice"Colton says "I had to climb that mountain".This tells me that Colton wanted to climb that mountain and achieve his goal.And guess what?He did!!!
in the article a marathon in space the main idea is to inform the reader on how to understand unbelievable things like an unbelievable thing happened in space. this article is about a man who can't run a marathon on earth because he is on the ISS (international space station) so instead he has to run his marathon in space. he says it is hard to train in space because he bounces when he runs a goal the character is going to set for himself is to run the whole thing in 4 hours which is fast for him. people all wish him luck and he will try to do as best as he can

In the article Friendly mammals.The main idea of the article is that dolphins are friendly and playful and intelligent animals.Dolphins like playing with each other.Dolphins live in groups called pod.pod. Dolphins know the time when they have get a breathe.They can stay underwater for only about fifteen minutes.Dolphins are intelligent mammals.
ReplyDeleteIn the article Bottlenose Dolphins, the main idea of the section is to inform you about how Bottlenose Dolphins use their special ability to use echolocation. Bottlenose dolphins use this ability to track their prey. They can also make 1,000 clicking sounds in one second. These sounds come back to to the dolphin allowing it to see the shape, size, and location of the prey.
ReplyDeleteIn the article Maned Wolfs,the main idea is what are Maned wolfs and why are they threatened. It also tells you about how Maned wolfs use their roar-bark. people think Maned wolfs have long teeth but they have small teeth to hunt animals like rabbits and squirrels.
ReplyDeleteSummary of The Ugly Truth. This article is about animals and them looking ugly. some animals are ugly but there is a reason why they are ugly. It is because it is to help them survive in the wild. Also, because if their preditor comes over and tries eating them, they have to help themselves and not get hurt by their preditor. One sentence to support the text evidence is, "Often the things we find unattractive in animals are features that help them survive in the wild."
ReplyDeleteI am reading an article about the rock cycle. The main idea of the section is to tell the reader about how the rock cycle works. One piece of text evidence to support the main idea is when it says "The Rock Cycle is a group of changes." I thought that meant that each rock would change to any other type of rock there is in the rock cycle. Another piece of text evidence is when it says "Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock." It also said "Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock." Lastly, it says "Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock." Overall, these are the ways the rock cycle is on the move.
ReplyDeleteIn the article The Siberian Husky, More Than Meets the Eye,the main idea is how Siberian Huskies used to be sleding dogs. THey were used to help people get around Alaska and they were entered in sledding races. Today, a lot of people have siberian huskies as pets. The artical tells how to take care of siberian huskies and what good pets they can be.
ReplyDeleteIn the article Fact sheet Sharks. The main idea is the characteristics of a shark. 1 detail to support that is five to seven gill slits and that's a characteristic of a shark. Detail 2 is that sharks eat fish crustaceans, mollusks, plankton, krill, marine mammals and other sharks. I know what something eats is a characteristic. My last detail is that some sharks live in cool coastal areas while other sharks live in deep waters. A characteristic of a shark can be the climate that it lives in. Overall my article tells you about what some characteristics of a shark are. [Luke]
ReplyDeleteIn the article Traveling Traders. The main idea is that countries or civilization send merchants or servants to trade for their goods and needs. One detail supporting that is a Egyptian nobleman was stopped by a war against two tribes from delivering goods to the other civilization. Detail 2 is that Egypt wanted to make a trade to the land of Punt. For their highly priced frankincense and myrrh. Detail 3 is that the Minoans of Crete become very powerful in the Mediterranean trade because they traded wine oil and jewelry for materials that they needed and food that they also needed. Overall my article tells you about people that send other people to trade for materials and goods.
ReplyDeleteThe article “Chimpanzee” is about a poucher that kills an ape and takes her baby and sells it to another man. That man locks him up in a cage in a dark room with little to eat or drink . The man wants to sell the chimp but eventually gives up because it is agents the law .He gave the little chimp to a local wild life center they there they nursed him back to health and gave him a name the name is Jeje . There he also met other chimps that are his age. And soon they will be put back in the wild.
