 W.A.L.T: Synthesis ideas across texts.

A while ago, our class were given a two texts that we have read and we had to fill in the tables that each contained questions about the text. The questions were what was the problem?, what knowledge and expertise was needed and what was the solution? The main idea through out both texts were on natural disasters. Then we had to fill in another column about some of our own knowledge on a certain natural disaster. I chose 'The 2011 Tohoku Tsunami' that happened in Japan. After we had finished that we had to pick 12 key words that linked all 3 texts and then summarise it using all the 12 key words here is my synthesising chart and summary.

I found it challenging to fit the key words into a summary and explain the solution for the chart. 

I enjoyed underlining the key words and listing what expertise was needed for the problem.

Have you ever done a synthesis before?
