Time = Parts Reading

Every piece, article, or text you read will have the main idea or overall topic (such as the person) along with subtopics (childhood, early life, life successes).

Think of each time period and ask yourself, “What’s this part mostly about?”

Retell the significant events in a person’s life.

What’s the first part?

Use the chapters to help you figure out the parts.

Thinking about just the part of the person’s life, what seems to be the main idea?

What does it seem like the main idea of this part of the person’s life is?

Put all the main ideas together. What’s the main idea of the whole biography?
