chapter 6 summary CCRB

In this chapter finding supporting details, Authors use details to illustrate and explain their main ideas, which are more general in nature, details consist of facts, examples and other specific information. Types of details are major supporting details and minor supporting details. Major supporting details provide support for the main idea of reading. They are commonly presented in the form of examples, illustrations, explanations, definition, facts or opinions, and they typically answer who? what? when ? how? or why? question about the main idea.
Minor supporting details are intended to clarify and enhance the major supporting details and are not usually considered as important. It is important to prioritize details because major ones are crucial to understanding a reading assignment, while minor ones, though interesting, are less helpful and take up valuable space in ur memory.
