I read Taking Flight for 15 min. The main\central idea is "ever since they were kids the Wright Brothers wanted to fly". A detail from the text that supports this is when they were kids their dad got them a rubber band powered flying machine and that's what inspired them to fly.
Sam, thanks for underlining the title! you have an excellent main idea and supporting detail. I like how you see that the main idea is the "big idea" that the author wants you to take away from what you are reading!!!! -MsP

Sam, I'm wondering if "testing their wings" isn't the biggest idea here, because that's what led them to flight. Then, the supporting detail might be, "They built a wind tunnel to test their wings." Think about this and let me know what you think. Also, when you have a chance could you underline the title? Thanks!!! -Ms.P

Sam, I can see you are exploring different fonts! Great job underlining the title! I think you are really getting the fact that the main idea is a simple, but big, idea that the author wants you to take away from the text. I can't wait for your biography report. SUPER!! -Ms.P Thanks.-Sam
2/14/11 I read The Wright Brothers for 15 minutes. The main idea is "they are like twins". A detail from the text that supports this is "the wright brothers are so much alike that sometimes well they were working they would start whistling the same tune or song not knowing that the other one was
Sam, great job here!!! Is it possible underlining the title using this font? Just wondering. I think you have a lot of experience with the "twin" thing, don't you? Super main idea and supporting detail!!! -Ms.P

I read The Wright Brothers for 15 minutes. The main idea is "He flew before them". A detail from the text that supports this is "Otto Lilinthal flew his gliders before the wright brothers did, but one day when he tried to fly over a canyon but he fell and broke his spine and the next day he died and that made other people afraid to fly so when the wright brothers started to fly other people thought they were crazy.
Great main idea, Sam. You might want to be more specific with it, though, and say "Someone" flew before "the Wright brothers," then your audience knows what you are referring too. Also can you check capitals for the things I highlighted? Thanks! -Ms.P

A detail from the text that supports this is"after they made their famous flight in 1905 they hid their plane so know one could steal it and they tried to sell it to the U.S. army but they said no. That's when they made new improvements on their plane. They added on another seat for a passenger to ride. Then the U.S. army said they would buy the plane. And they did.

I read You Asked. I read it for 15 minutes. It made me think about how loud the loudest hiccup was. On page 22 the text said The loudest hiccup ever heard could be heard from 1 mile away.
I read You Asked. I read it for 15 minutes. It made me think about why can't a balloon float in to space. On page 88 the text said when the balloon reaches earths atmosphere the air is as light as the air in the balloon so it can't go any farther.
I read You Asked. I read it for 15 minutes. It made me think about What is the "big red dot" on Jupiter. On page 86 the text said the "giant red dot" on Jupiter is a really big hurricane that travels around Jupiter.
I read You Asked. I read it for 15 minutes. It made me think about how earth does not have any rings around it. On page 79 the text said earth does not have any rings because the planets with rings have more gravity that attracts rocks and dirt and ice.
I read You Asked. I read it for 15 minutes. It made me think about how do you make a laser. On page 56 the text said you can make lasers out of liquids and solids but it depends on what laser your making.

I read How Things Work. I read it for 15 minutes. It made me think about how do you make a solar powered car. On page 38 the text said "You put solar panels on the back of a car and connect a couple of wires to the battery, but the car has to be wide or else the solar panels won't fit".
I read How Things Work. I read it for 15 minutes. It made me think about why do they make a bike that has walls on the sides.
