Synthesis and QAR

My group and I learnt how to use synthesis.

First we read the text about Fire Fast Food by using the reciprocal reading cards. The text is about why we should  ot have fast food in the canteens because the chemicals can cause long term damage to the body.  

Afterwards we made a copy of the synthesis Google Draw. There were three boxes, the three boxes are Prior Knowledge, New Information, and New Understanding. Prior Knowledge is something that you already know, New Information is something you learnt, and New Understanding is something that you understand.  

Finally we made a copy of the QAR Google Doc. We needed to answer the question and put it in the right boxe. The boxes are: Right There, Think and Search, Author and You, and On my Own. Right There the answer can be found in the text. Think and Search means the answer is in the book but you need to have a look. Author and You

I enjoyed this activity because I learnt how to use synthesis.
