Main Idea and Supporting Details Sub Plan (No Prep): Paragraph Lab, Grades 5-6

Welcome to the paragraph lab. Each of three paragraph kits gives students a main idea and six sentences, but only three of the sentences belong. Students pick the three that support the main idea, put them in order, and say why each of the other three fails: it is off-point (about something else) or too broad (so big it adds no detail).
