Emily, why would a miniture roller coaster make her love to fly airplanes????? -Ms. P.
Because she liked to feel like she was flying. (The miniture rolar -coaster had a loop in it.) 2-14-11 Hey I was just reading this over and I noticed that this in in your report as well. But, you didn't add the part where she felt like she was flying and how it was important to her later life. This makes the fact more significant. Could you add this to your report?-MsP
Thanks for proving your point! Next time add more the first time around!!! -Ms. P.

I read Amelia Earhart for 30 minutes. In one selection of the text the main/central idea was Amelia's little sister called her "Meelie" because she couldn't say Amelia. A detail from the text that supports this is: Amelia had a little sister named Muriel. When Muriel was a baby she could not say Amelia, so she just called her Meelie. That was stuck with her the rest of her life.
You read for a long time! Great job underlining! I'm going to challenge you- try and insert a picture of Earhart in your next entry. Just wondering- do you think the main idea might have been: Earhart had a nickname that lasted the rest of her life. I'm wondering if this was the biggest idea here...Let me know what you think...-Ms.P

A detail from the text that supports this is: Her parents named her after her two grandmothers. Emily, your main idea and supporting detail are almost the same exact thing. Think about the most important thing the author wants to know about that detail about the grandmothers. I'd like you to try to rewrite.

I fixed the main idea.

Think about what the big idea is- what the author wants you to take away from this. I can help you with this- ask me in class! -MsP
