Ducks overboard

Text title: Ducks overboard

Author: Ben Clerkin, Christiane Dorion

I think the main idea of this text is that a lot of rubber ducks were lost overboard because of the cargo boat getting caught by a storm. Scientists have been following the rubber duck to understand more about how the ocean currently works.

One example of a supporting detail is the rubber ducks travel to far places like Antarctica, United States or even Australia.

Another example of a supporting detail is if you find at least 1 rubber duck that says the first years  you will get 100 dollar from the US and a lot of rubber ducks will be floating around rubbish.

It is clear that the main idea is A lot of rubber ducks were lost overboard because of the cargo boat getting caught in a storm and then all of the rubber ducks floating around the ocean for a long time. Because it talks about how the rubber ducks were floating around the ocean for scientist to understand more about how the ocean works.

LI:To identify the main ideas in a text

For writing this week I had to read 2 texts and 1 youtube video. After that I had to write what I think the main idea is, giving 2 examples of what the supporting detail is, what you think the actual main idea is and why you chose it. I learnt this by going on the class site and finding what the task is. I also learnt this by watching and reading the video and the texts. This quite hard and a little bit easy to do.
