High school is just a couple years away. I am going to make my high school years unforgettable. I'm going to choose lots of exciting elective courses so my school day is always interesting. I'm going to join several clubs so I can meet new friends who like the same things that I do. I'm also going to have fun by attending football games, dances, and as many other social events as possible. With this plan, I'm guaranteed to have a great time—as long as I keep my grades up and stay out of trouble. The main idea of this paragraph is written in bold. Writing in complete sentences

those are the three details used to support the main point

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

thank you i gave you a medal

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

i have one more

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

lay it on me

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

one sec

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed. Writing in a complete sentence, what is the main idea of the passage?

The main idea would be his grandmother's saying, "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." The following is what inspired this person to believe in such things.

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

Though I feel as if it could be worded better

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

thank you bro!!! :)

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

do you mind if i tag you if i have a question? @royalkiwi

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

Perhaps go farther into the idea. Reword the main idea I gave you and incorporate something about this person's beliefs in it? Though I still am firm in my choice. Also sure sure go ahead and tag me when you need me

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

okay cool!

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

okay i have 1 more lol, sorry, but thanks!

OpenStudy (flvs.net):

@royalkiwi

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

go on

"I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways." "I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible." "Dragons are included along with eleven real animals." these three statements all support the main idea

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

When I look at the points again, it makes me rethink the choice I gave you as the main idea. I feel like you should maybe reword that main idea so that it matches the details that I listed above.

OpenStudy (flvs.net):
