  14. Synthesize Connect to the Text

  15. Synthesizing in Action “When readers synthesize, they use a variety of strategies to build and enhance understanding. They summarize the information, listen to their inner voice, and merge their thinking so that the information makes sense and is meaningful to them. They connect the new to the known, they ask questions, they pick out the most important information – all of these strategies intersect to allow us to synthesize information and actively use it.” Harvey & Goudvis, 2007, p. 180

  16. SYNTHESIZE – Beyond Summary together The putting so as to form a whole of parts or elements

  17. Text match • Use the card that you have been given to find the other members of your table group. • Once you have formed your table group, discuss the following questions: 1. How did you figure out to which group you belonged to? 2. What reading comprehension strategies were you using in this activity?

  18. Use the shapes given to create a graphic representation or mind map illustrating the thinking you did to put together your table group. Take a walkabout to see how other groups represented their thinking The Process of Synthesizing Picture of Teacher Resource 3 High-Yield Strategy: Mapping

  19. Kidssay… “Synthesizing is like inferring, only super-sized!” “When you synthesize you say in your head, I used to think this, but now I’m thinking this.” “When I synthesize, my mind is changing, my ideas are changing, my thinking is changing.”

  20. Two-Word Strategy • Independently read (a thought-provoking article). • In silence write only two different words that reflect yourthinking about a passage. • After selections, tell others the words, why youchose them, and how they relate to your life.

  21. Save the Last Word for Me • Select a quote from the article you’ve read. Write your thought/ idea/question about the quote. 2. In a small group, give your quote and allow all others to respond. 3. At the end, share your comments.
