Activity 22
• Remind students to go back to
Activity 13 and use what they
discussed there to complete the
table.
• To help students determine
the main idea, ask them to
identify the topic, summarize
what the TV program is about
in their own words and look for
repetition of ideas.
• To complete the last row in the
table, encourage students to
think of the situations in the TV
program that provide examples
of or talk about a specific detail
of the main idea.
Activity 23

• Remind students that
connectives are joining words,
and we use them to connect
phrases together into longer
sentences, improve the flow and
add clarity to their writing.
• Encourage them to use
connectives to offer additional
information to the reader. They
can do this by emphasizing
contrasting meanings, adding
reason or cause and showing
succession.
• Make sure they don’t overuse unnecessary connectives in their sentences. Tell them that if they can
remove the connective and the sentence still makes sense, then they are using a connective when one isn’t
needed.
