Prior to beginning Rosa Parks: My Story by Rosa Parks, model for your class members how to determine the main idea of a text. Exercepts from another story are provided to use for the demonstration. The focus then shifts to Rosa Parks' autobiography and modeling continues with Chapter 1. For guided practice, learners use a main idea web to determine the main idea of Chapter 2. Chapter 3 then provides an opportunity for independent practice.
