Topics, Main ideas and Details
Topics, main ideas or points, and details work together.
The main idea tells the writer’s point about the topic,
and it is supported by details throughout the paragraph
much like the frame of a house supports the roof.
How to Determine the Topic
Smoking cigarettes is not only a disgusting and smelly habit, but also very bad for your health. It has been proven to cause cancer, lung disease, and heart disease, and to weaken your immune system.
Smoking makes it a lot harder to breathe, which means it’s more difficult to play sports and get the exercise you need to stay healthy. It’s also harmful for those hanging around a smoker, because they breathe the smoky air. Even though most people know how bad smoking is for them, more than 1,000 people die each day from its effect!
◆ Ask yourself “Who or what is the passage about ”
◆ Look carefully at the title. Often the general topic is one of the words in the title.
◆ Look for clue words or phrases that are used repeatedly. Often that word or phrase is the general topic of the article.
