Context Clue Practice
What’s the GIST?
Identify what makes a detail specific
Differentiating between what is a a topic
sentence, important detail or unimportant
detail.
What does the word mean
and how do you know?
The Evil knight planned to abduct the queen
when she came alone to the village.
Our basketball team was abducted by aliens who
carried them off to the planet Mars.
The neighbor’s boy abducted our pet pig, and we
paid a ransom of a box of cookies to get him back.
Quick Check
A specific detail gives us a visual. Often times
when we are answering a question, being able
to locate a specific detail can help.
We are going to do a quick check to see if you
can tell if a detail is specific or not.
If it is specific your hand goes on your head
(yours, not your neighbors)If the detail is general then your hand goes on
your shoulder.
Ready? Let’s play!
Specific or General?
Racing is fun.
If it is specific your hand goes on your head
(yours, not your neighbors)If the detail is general then your hand goes on
your shoulder.
Specific or General?
Samoyeds, Alaskan huskies, and
Siberian huskies are good racing dogs.

of stuff when you want to
race sled dogs.

general - your hand goes on your shoulder
What’s the Gist?
The GIST is just a one sentence paraphrase of
the paragraph. Once you read the paragraph
you ask-”What was this all about?”
You can easily write this one sentence as a
reminder of what you read. As you read the
following paragraph, think about what it is all
about.
Teacher Read Aloud – you think:
What’s the Gist?
“Ooh!” Someone spit in that plant!” Maybe you’ve
said this after seeing a glob of bubbly white foam
on a plant. The culprit might be tinier than you
think. A kind of insect called a spittlebug actually
creates the foamy masses. Why would these insects
do this? After the spittlebug nymphs hatch in May,
they secrete a liquid. Then they move and twist
their bodies around to whip this liquid into foam.
The foam keeps them cool, moist, and hidden from
predators. Pretty clever, huh?
Important Detail vs.
Less Important Detail
We just read a paragraph together for the
purpose of determining the gist. Now we will
read to think about each sentence and decide if
it is a topic sentence, an important detail, or an
unimportant detail.
Sentence
“Ooh! Someone spit in that plant!
Maybe you’ve said this after seeing a glob.
The culprit might be tinier than you think.

Then they move and twist their bodies around
to whip this liquid into foam.
The foam keeps them cool, moist, and hidden
form predators.
