Last week, we began to work on our synthesizing strategy during reading groups. Synthesizing involves gathering and collecting information from one or more texts and changing or deepening our thinking as we go along! Synthesizing requires students to ask themselves questions before, during, and after they have read a passage in order to help them identify what they now understand and any new thinking about the topic.To help us, students were given a variety of prompts to guide their thinking as they read.
These lessons are a great way to get us back in the "swing of things" after break helping us to dig deep into texts. Synthesizing will also lead into next week's lessons; understanding an author's point of view and analyzing multiple accounts on the the same historical event.
