Main ideas can be found in either the first sentence or the concluding sentences of a paragraph. As the candy main idea suggests, the details can be expressed as a summation of the information in the paragraph as well as a link to the information. As shown in the image below, the main idea and details chart are a graphical representation for data visualization, in which the data is represented by symbols and detail is defined as a fact or feature or is a small or minor part of something or a small group of people assigned to a specific task. Instead of creating main ideas or details from scratch, try EdrawMax’s ready-to-use templates or use them as inspiration for your own design.
