 What Is This Module About?

Noting Details is about paying attention to some details in the story we read,
watch, or even details in the selection. In reading or watching a story, we must
remember the important facts or details in a story. This will help us understand
and appreciate the story better. Details are small pieces of information that support
the main idea. It speaks about people, events, time, objects, circumstances,
situations, and manners. Noting Details questions Who, What, Where, When Why
and How. They are called WH and H questions.

A paragraph is a group of sentences related to a particular topic, or central

theme. Every paragraph has a key concept or main idea. The main idea is the
most important piece of information the author wants you to know about the
concept of the paragraph.

Being able to determine the main idea helps readers to understand

important information. Locating the main and significant details helps you
understand the point the writer wants to express. Identifying the relationship
between these will improve comprehension. The first thing you must be able to do
to get at the main idea of a paragraph is to identify the topic – the subject of the
paragraph.

The Sampaguita Vendor

Source: Smart Reading Grade V

Mrs. Delgado was a deeply religious woman. She would go to church every
morning before going to market. After hearing mass, she would buy sampaguita
garlands from a young boy.

3
 This boy came from a poor family. He had to work on the street, along with
his parents and other siblings who were also vendors, in order for their family to
eat. He would stand on the same spot on the sidewalk everyday to sell sampaguita
garlands.

Because the boy was kind and polite, Mrs. Delgado grew fond of him. She
bought all her sampaguita garlands from him. And every now and then, she would
give him food and some clothes and shoes of her sons.

The boy, on the other hand, would thank her politely and give her an extra
garland for her kindness.

One day, Mrs. Delgado stayed in the church longer than usual. When she
came out of the church, she was surprised to see many people staring at one area
of the sidewalk. It was the young sampaguita vendor’s spot. But he wasn’t there.
On the ground where he used to stand was his crushed garlands and some drops
of blood. According to some bystanders, a delivery truck lost its brakes and jumped
on the sidewalk.

Questions:

1. Who are the characters in the story? Describe each character.

2. Where did the story happen?

3. What happened to boy in the story?

4. Why did Mrs. Delgado stayed longer in the church?

 Let’s Study and Analyze

The main idea is a sentence that tells what the paragraph is about. It is
what the writer wants us to know and remember about the topic in the paragraph.
To identify the main idea, answer the question, “What is the most important thing
that the paragraph tells me about the topic?

A key sentence contains the main idea of a paragraph and is expressed in a

complete thought. It is usually found at the beginning of the paragraph. However,
some key sentences may appear in the middle or even at the end of the paragraph.
The key sentence is also called topic sentence.

Supporting details make up the body of the paragraph. They give details to
support the main idea through facts, examples, explanations, details, or
descriptions.

Keeping our homes clean has a lot of benefits. Whenever we do sweeping,

wiping, and dusting, we kill bacteria and viruses that cause different illnesses. In
addition, we can reduce the risk of injuries as we get to remove certain hazards. It
also eliminates unnecessary stress. Since we can put things in order, moving about
the house and finding things become easier. Last of all, we can ward off pests
which are the main carriers of various diseases.

 Let’s Remember and Review

CONCEPT NOTE
Every paragraph has a main idea. It is the most important piece of
information that an author states implicitly or explicitly to let you know the concept
of the paragraph. The sentence where you can find the main idea is called the topic
sentence or key sentence. Though often found at the middle, or at the end. The
main idea is supported by details found in the rest of the sentences in the
paragraph. To find the main idea, the first thing you must do is to identify the topic
or the subject of the paragraph.

A main Idea is often found at the beginning, middle or at the end of a

paragraph.

It is important to identify the main idea, key sentence, and supporting

details from what you read or listened to. Being able to do so means you
understand the text and you can identify the important points in it.

Global Warming

We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide to live. Oxygen is

necessary for people and animals to live. The carbon dioxide that people and
animals breathe out are taken in by plants. Truly, oxygen and carbon dioxide
are very important gases that make life possible on Earth.

The building up of gases in the Earth’s atmosphere causes greenhouse

effect. With so many gases in the atmosphere, Earth becomes like greenhouse
because heat from the surface cannot easily escape into the outer space.
Because of the gases that block the heat from escaping to the outer space,
there is global warming, thus, the temperature of the earth rises.
