Students make predictions while using the vocabulary from the text to write a summary of what they think the text will be about. This allows for students to experience cognitive conflict when they do read, which creates more engagement, more commitment to long-term memory, and more curiousity about what they're about to read.

After reading through the entire article, it may look something like this. Now Think Aloud and justify how the evidence you've highlighted supports the original main-idea headline (e.g., key points are repeated in different words, they exist throughout the article, etc.). Repeat the process with a second short newspaper article and its headline. Facilitate students finding evidence of the main-idea headline.

Eventually, challenge students to do both. Students will read an entire article. Then, they will reread it, stopping to highlight the repetitious words, phrases, and details. Using those words and phrases, they will craft a main-idea sentence inferring what the article is mostly about. Then, all those highlighted details become the evidence to support their main idea.
