Eliminate & Focus

In this activity, students learn to distinguish between important and unimportant details in a passage about solar energy. They cross out information that does not support the main idea and then summarize the central concept in their own words. This process trains learners to prioritize key points and reduce informational clutter. It also reinforces critical reading and summarizing skills essential for academic comprehension.
