  Title of Micro-project:- Central Idea of Seen Paragraphs

 1.0 Rationale:-
The central idea is the central, unifying element of the story, which ties together all
of the other elements of fiction used by the author to tell the story. The central idea
can be best described as the dominant impression or the universal, generic truth
found in the story. Therefore, the central idea statement should avoid using the
names of characters.

 2.0 Aims of Micro-project:-

1. The main idea is the central, or most important, idea in a paragraph or passage.
It states the purpose and sets the direction of the paragraph or passage .

2. The main idea may be stated or it may be implied.

3. When the main idea of a paragraph is stated, it is most often found in the first
sentence of the paragraph. However, the main idea may be found in any sentence
of the paragraph.

 3.0 Intended Course Outcomes:-

1. Communicate effectively by using Central Idea of Seen Paragraphs
2. To Make Meaningful Sentences.
3. The central idea communicates the general truth of the article. It’s often
understood as the main point or the keypoint...

11
 4.0 Literature Review:-

The central idea or seen paragraphs of a story is an author’s comment, usually implied,
on the subject of his narrative. It is insufficient to say that the central idea of a story is
about “loyalty” or “motherhood.” For example, a poorly written central idea for the story
of Cinderella would say: "Cinderella is the story of a poor, servant girl who overcomes
the cruelty of her family and lives happily every after with Prince Charming." On the
other hand, a well-written central idea would say something like: "The story
of Cinderella reveals that people who are kind and patient are often rewarded for their
good deeds." For the Wizard of Oz, instead of saying it is "about a girl named Dorothy
who learns to appreciate the life that she has," you might say: "The Wizard of Oz reveals
that when people lose sight of reality, they sometimes forget to appreciate the beauty of
their everyday lives."

 How is the central idea or theme expressed through the characters, setting, point
of view, tone, language, or conflict.
 We used sources like Book , Google chrome , Some Websites like;
(https://www.successcds.net , https://testbook.com , https://smallpdf.com ) and
book of “Target Publication “this books give us knowledge of ability to
communicate, knowledge of grammar ,Spelling and Punctuation .

Examples of poorly written central ideas:

 The central idea is about love. (not a complete statement)

 Jackson's tale suggests that Tessie was treated unfairly. (not generic or universal)
 The central idea reveals that we are cruel and don't see ourselves as others do.
(omit first person in central idea)
 Poe's story is about how people react to tragedy. (you should answer the question
of how people do react to tragedy)
 The central idea is that you can’t trust people because they will sometimes try to
deceive you.
 * Hemingway suggests that some people feel that the grass is always greener on the
other side.

12
  5.0 Actual Methodology :-
 The central idea of seen Paragraphs a speech is very similar to a thesis statement in a
written essay. It is a specific and detailed statement which informs the audience of the
goal or purpose of the speech. A central idea, also known as the main idea of the speech,
represents the specific objective of the speech. The central idea statement is usually just
one sentence that sums up the major ideas of a speech. It also tells the audience what
they should expect to hear about in the rest of the speech. The central idea statement
also enables the speech writer to stay focused on the main idea. The central idea serves
as the focal point which connects all the other points in the speech.
 In order to form a central idea statement, the speaker must be well-informed on the
topic. They must also have a general purpose for their speech, as well as a specific
purpose in mind. They should then be able to summarize the main points of their speech
into one central idea statement.

 7.0 Output of the Micro Project:-

The Central idea is the central point or thought the author wants to communicate
to readers. The main idea answers the question, “What does the author want me to
know about the topic?” or “What is the author teaching me?” Often the author states
the main idea in a single sentence. In paragraphs, a stated main idea is called the topic
sentence. In an article, the stated main idea is called the thesis statement. When the
author does not state the main idea directly, it is called an implied main idea. An implied
main idea requires you to look at the specific statements in the paragraph and consider
what idea they suggest.

8.0 Skill Developed

The central idea states the point you wish to make. It is the focal point to which all details
in your essay point. Think of a paragraph or essay as a photograph. Just as you focus a
snapshot by aiming the camera at a fixed point, you focus your writing by relating every
detail to a central idea.

You can also compare the central idea to an umbrella. Expressed as a thesis statement
(essay) or in a topic sentence (paragraph), the central idea will be the broadest or most
general statement in your work. All other ideas and bits of information fit logically under
the central idea.

Let's say you decide to write about high school. You might tell a story about your history
class, compare two schools you attended, or argue that high schools should require
foreign-language study.

If you want to compare the two high schools you attended, you can include details about
their academic programs, athletic teams, students, or teachers. But you probably
wouldn't argue that high schools should stay open in summer because doing so would
take you outside your declared purpose.

 9.0 Application Of this Micro Project
Speeches have traditionally been seen to have one of three broad purposes: to inform, to
persuade, and — well, to be honest, different words are used for the third kind of speech
purpose: to inspire, to amuse, to please, or to entertain. These broad goals are
commonly known as a speech’s general purpose, since, in general, you are trying to
inform, persuade, or entertain your audience without regard to specifically what the
topic will be. Perhaps you could think of them as appealing to the understanding of the
audience (informative), the will or action (persuasive), and the emotion or pleasure.

Now that you know your general purpose (to inform, to persuade, or to entertain), you
can start to move in the direction of the specific purpose. A specific purpose statement
builds on your general purpose (to inform) and makes it more specific (as the name
suggests). So if your first speech is an informative speech, your general purpose will be
to inform your audience about a very specific realm of knowledge

In writing your specific purpose statement, you will take three contributing elements
(shown in figure 5.3) that will come together to help you determine your specific
purpose:

Figure 5.3. You, your audience, and your context (Tucker & Barton, 2016)

 You (your interests, your background, past jobs, experience, education, major),
 Your audience
 The context or setting.

15
Putting It Together
Keeping these three inputs in mind, you can begin to write a specific purpose statement,
which will be the foundation for everything you say in the speech and a guide for what
you do not say. This formula will help you in putting together your specific purpose
statement:

To _______________ [Specific Communication Word (inform, explain, demonstrate,

describe, define, persuade, convince, prove, argue)]

my [Target Audience (my classmates, the members of the Social Work Club, my
coworkers] __________________. [The Content (how to bake brownies, that Macs are
better than PCs].

Example: The purpose of my presentation is to demonstrate for my coworkers the value

of informed intercultural communication.

Formulating a Central Idea Statement

While you will not actually say your specific purpose statement during your speech, you
will need to clearly state what your focus and main points are going to be. The statement
that reveals your main points is commonly known as the central idea statement (or just
the central idea). Just as you would create a thesis statement for an essay or research
paper, the central idea statement helps focus your presentation by defining your topic,
purpose, direction, angle and/or point of view. Here are two examples

Central Idea – When elderly persons lose their animal companions, they can

experience serious psychological, emotional, and physical effects.

Specific Purpose – To demonstrate to my audience the correct method for cleaning

a computer keyboard.

Central Idea – Your computer keyboard needs regular cleaning to function well,
and you can achieve that in four easy steps.

16
Specific Purpose

Now that you know your general purpose (to inform, to persuade, or to entertain), you
can start to move in the direction of the specific purpose. A specific purpose statement
builds on your general purpose and makes it more specific (as the name suggests). So if
your first speech is an informative speech, your general purpose will be to inform your
audience about a very specific realm of knowledge.

In writing your specific purpose statement, you will take three contributing elements and
bring them together to help you determine your specific purpose:

Below are four guidelines for writing a strong central idea.

1. Your central idea should be one, full sentence.
2. Your central idea should be a statement, not a question.
3. Your central idea should be specific and use concrete language.
4. Each element of your central idea should be related to the others.

Using the topic “Benefits of Yoga for College Students’ Stress,” here are some correct and
incorrect ways to write a central idea.

A strong central idea shows that your speech is focused around a clear and concise topic
and that you have a strong sense of what you want your audience to know and
understand as a result of your speech. Again, it is unlikely that you will have a final

17
central idea before you begin your research. Instead, it will come together as you research
your topic and develop your main points.
