Main Idea Sub Plan (No Prep): Headline Writer, Grades 5-6 Reading

Your students are the headline writer for a school newsletter, and every headline is missing. For each of six short news items, they write a headline (the topic, in 2 to 5 words) and one full sentence that tells the main idea. Then they put six loose detail sentences back with the item each one supports, and answer three "think like an editor" questions.
