Lucky Dog Rescued From Baltic Sea

 This was an informative text from The Astonishing Adventures Literacy Network Texts. This text is about a lucky dog that was rescued from the Baltic Sea.  The Baltic Sea is a very cold sea in the Northern Hemisphere off the coast of Poland.  A dog became stranded on an ice floe in the Baltic Sea and cheated death after being rescued by a research ship.

The dog dubbed Baltic by one of the crewman was scooped from the ice and taken onto the ship.  The dog was possibly lost for 2 to 3 days in the cold freezing weather of the Baltic Sea.

Whilst reading the text our R3 group were learning about how to find them main idea of a text.  The main idea of a text is the main thing/topic that you are reading about.  It is what the text is mostly about. We learned that the title, pictures,  captions, repeated ideas, topic and concluding sentences, all help us to work out the main idea.
