"Talk back" tomorrow (Thursday, June 3, 2021)

The Key Word Outline helps maintain focus on the main idea of each sentence in a source text (or class lecture, or research).  

Students can easily find out if they have focused on the main ideas when they attempt to re-write their sentences using only their key words.

If they haven’t, they will have a difficult time re-writing the sentence (and at that point, they should review the original text and reconsider their choice of key words).

Understanding and being able to articulate the main idea of a text is a critical skill all students need to become well-educated adults.
