Lesson 2 : First and Last Sentences (Passage)

Remember that old skimming technique, where you'd read the first and last sentence of a paragraph to glean the main idea? That tried and true college trick is taught to third graders as a way to gather information while they read. They work as a class to discuss and practice using the strategy before setting out on their own. Please double check the standards listed on the lesson, there are many of them, and they may not all align correctly.
