Unit 2 Review

A central idea is the same as

• A main idea

• A summary

• A topic

• Development

Use context clues to determine the meaning of the word. "Speaking rudely to the judges was rash behavior"

• With little thought or consideration

• Trying to hide or disguise something

• An itchy skin condition

• Funny or humorous

To find the central idea in a text, you should

• Look at the headings of each section

• Find the topic and decide what the text says about it

• Look at the first sentence of the text

• All of these

An objective summary should

• Include exact quotes

• Include only the most important ideas and details

• Include your own opinions

• Include on the interesting details

An author uses this to develop central ideas

A central idea should be

• A few words about the topic

• A title

• A sentence that describes what the text is mostly about

• A sentence or more about the supporting details

Textual evidence is...

• Exact words from the text in quotation marks

• An inference

• What you think you know

• Ideas or events from the text in your own words

When should you use textual evidence?

• When you write a summary

• When you write the central idea

• All of these

• When you want to prove your answer

Which should NOT appear in an objective summary (two answers apply!)

• Bias or opinions

• Quoted words and sentences

• Supporting details

• Main ideas

Bias means unfair or one sided

• True

• False
