Finding and discussing key points

How to find the main points in an article. Look at the headline or title. It often broadly summarizes the main topic of a news or magazine article. Carefully read through the article. Then go back to the beginning of the article and identify sentences that give some of the most important pieces of information in the article.

1.Pick up a copy of the Student Times, on my desk.
Read the front page article.  It's continued on page 3.
Read the entire article.

2. Write down three key sentences that illustrate key points within the article.
3. Under each key point, write down 1-2 talking points to be discussed in class.
4. Turn in your work by the end of the period.
