titles.Readpage4aloud.Modelhowtodeterminethemainideaanddetailsforthissection.Think-aloud:The main idea of a section is the general topic that is the subject of the section.The title of the first section is“Flying in the Moonlight.”It describes a walk at night and a shape floating overhead.The shadow comes from an owl flying above.The section teaches that more than two hundred species of owls live around the world.Owls live on every continent except Antarctica.These details introduce the owl and vividly describe how it flies in the moonlight.The main idea of this section is to introduce the owl as a bird that flies at night.Writethemainideaofthesectionontheboard.Invitevolunteerstocometotheboardandwrite details from this section that support the main

easily organize the information that I am summarizing.I remember that I dont want to use all of the details from the book in my summary,only the most important details that best support the main idea.If I were to summarize the first section of the book,this is what I would say:Owls are birds that often fly at night.More than two hundred species of owls live around the world.They live on every continent,except Antarctica.Notice,I did not include in my summary all the sensory details about the bird flying overheadthose sentences make a good hook for the book,but they do not strongly support the main idea.Also,my summary is in my own words,so I did not copy any sentences from the book.Writethesummaryontheboardasyouspeak.Havestudentsfindthemainideaanddetailswithin the summary,and call on

Modelsummarizingthesecondsection.Think-aloud:Owls have eyes that help them survive in the wild.Since their eyes cant move,owls can turn their heads in every direction.Owls hunt at night,so they dont compete with daytime hunters.Their pupils open very wide to let in light,which helps them to see better in the dark than other animals.However,owls cant see things up close;the feathers around their face help them to feel items that are

not survive.The last section is a conclusion.A conclusion wraps up a book.My summary of the conclusion is:Peopledontalwayssee owls,but they are here.A person needs to look and listen carefully to find
