Explain to students that the most important thing the author says in a story or a paragraph is
called the main idea. Reread the text and help students identify the main idea: “
Hay muchos
hogares diferentes en el mundo.
” (There are many different types of homes in the world.)
X
Discuss the main idea with students. Ask:
¿Por qué hay tantos hogares diferentes?
(Why are there so
many different homes?). Elicit that it depends on where the homes are located. For example, tall
apartment buildings are often found in places with little room for building. Have students present
explanations as to why people would live in each of those types of homes.
X
Hold a discussion with students about the pros and cons of living in each of the types of homes
presented in the text. Students can first create a list using a two-column chart (Graphic Organizer
#16), labeling the columns
A favor
and
En contra
. Then have students share their lists with a partner,
in a group, and finally with the class.
X
Hold a discussion with students by asking:
¿En cuál de los hogares presentados en el libro quisieran vivir?
