Reading: Ducks Overboard Activity

L.I: To identify the main ideas in a text

This week for reading, we had to do an activity about the event that occurred a few years ago, Duck Overboard. Duck Overboard is about a cargo ship that was hit by a storm, causing a container of thousands of rubber ducks falling into the ocean. We had to watch a video, read a text, and read a news report about the ducks, and then put the information into a main idea summary frame (A Main Idea Summary Frame Is What Is Under This Text).

Text title: Duck Overboard

Author: (There are many different authors of the videos and texts about the Ducks Overboard experience).

I think the main idea of this text / video is how all the rubber ducks travelled around the world.

One example of a supporting detail is that different ducks went in different directions, with ones taking longer to make it close to land.

Another example of a supporting detail is that the ducks came from a cargo ship that was hit by a storm, resulting in many rubber ducks falling into the ocean going many different ways.

It is clear that the main idea is about the thousands of rubber ducks that came from a cargo ship several years ago, Because that is what made people research about them, and write about their travels. Many popular news articles have included this catastrophic, but yet very interesting event to their newspapers.
