I know that pictures are a great way to practice main idea and so I tried to incorporate that into a station for continued review and practice. I took lots of photographs from magazines and cut off the captions. The captions were then glued to the back. I did this same thing with pieces or small sections of articles, except for these I cut of the subtitle or heading.
Students look only at the front side and write down what they think a good caption or subtitle/heading would be. Then the can flip it over and see what the real one says.
