This worksheet is focused on main idea and detail. Pipo is a friendly frog who does different things for his friends. He gives them fruits, fresh juice, etc. You can also focus on sounds by practising the -fr blend.

Objective: Identify main idea and details on a text.

Students read the text "History of Chocolate", and on the next page they need to cut some parts of the text, and paste them according to whether they are the main idea or details. This resource can be used as practice, or to assess how well students are able to identify the main idea and the details on a text.

Objective: Identify main ideas and details on a paragraph.

The text was taken from a Scholastic Book of reading comprehensions. The graphic organizer on the second page is a personal creation.

This is a good activity to guide and teach students on how to find the main idea and details. The idea is to read and discuss the text with them and, before looking at the graphic organizer, ask them what the text talks about, in general, which are some details, why do they think those are details and not the main idea, etc.
After this, have them complete the graphic organizer independently, and then check the answers with them.

Objective: Reading Comprehension

Students read the text "History of Chocolate" and then answer questions to show  their understanding about it.
The first part consists of comprehension questions, which students can find just by reading the text again carefully.
The second part involves using vocabulary in context. Students must complete sentences using words from a given word bank, and apply them according to context clues.
Finally, students need to identify the main idea and details from the text.

This is a Reading Comprehension worksheet that includes 2 fictional texts with questions that focus on Main Idea and Supporting details. It has an organization that is easy to follow and the questions have color assigned for students to look for the information in the text. 

Busca desarrollar el OA11 de Historia, Geografía y Ciencias Sociales para 4º básico: Distinguir algunos actores de la organización política y democrática de Chile, como Presidente, ministros, senadores, diputados y alcaldes, considerando las instituciones en las que ejercen y cómo son nombrados o elegidos.
La idea es jugar esto como "adivina quién" e ir destapando las pistas para encontrar a qué actor de la organización política de Chile corresponde. 

VER RECURSOS 

This Power Point was created to introduce the concept of Story Plot parts with 6th grade students.

The idea is that, before getting to know each specific part, they remember the main story elements they have learned before such as setting, characters, beginning, middle and end.

At the end, they watch a short film and they have to first; identify the elements we learned in this specific story and then, write their own interpretation of the story (including the elements they planned before).

This is a very fun game that students enjoy a lot. The main objectives of this game are to remember vocabulary and to build trust (because students speak in English and gain confidence) in an enjoyable way.

To play, the teacher gives to some students one of the flashcards and asks one student to start. The student must say its color or shape and call another one. For example:

This activity was an idea given by the English program AMCO. I have played this game with pre kinders, kinders, first graders and second graders. It was always a success. 

Some students struggle when learning irregular verbs. I know it is important to know the vocabulary. But I would suggest to focus on a small set of verbs. These verbs can be related to the main topic of the unit.
