Students can use these boxes and bullet graphic organizers to identify three key details, write the main idea sentence, and then elaborate on how the key details support the main idea. Students and researchers must extract the main ideas and keep details from sources using the note-taking strategy depicted in boxes and a bullet graphic organizer. Each main idea is boxed, and supporting details are written directly below, next to bullet points. The first GO contains the structure and tips for what to include in each section of an opinion writing; the second has a streamlined outline; and the third contains only the boxes, similar to what is used on a writing test answer sheet.
