__Directions__: Read the paragraph "Prepared Students" below and tell me what the main idea sentence is, and what the 3 detail sentences are. Use the example below to help you (look at the highlighted words):

__Example__ There are dangers of getting into a car accident when talking on a cell phone while driving. First, there is the danger of rear ending someone at a light. This happens because you are not paying close enough attention to the car in front of you. Second, there is the danger of running a red light and crashing into someone else. This happens because you are reaching for your ringing phone and not looking at the traffic light. Third, there is the danger of crossing over lanes and swipping into someone. This happens because you are text messanging someone rather than having both of your hands on the wheel.

__Prepared Students__ There are multiple ways for students to show that they are prepared for class. Students who bring their supplies to class show that they are prepared for the day's lesson. These students don't waste class time asking their fellow classmates to borrow a pencil. Students who turn in their homework on time show that they are prepared for the teacher's requests. These students take studying very seriously. Students who raise their hand show their teacher that they are prepared to answer questions. These students don't wait in silence hoping that their teacher does not call them.
