Synthesizing

Today at reading we were learning about synthesizing.We had to write our prior knowledge about Gorillas. My partner and I then read some information about Gorillas. First I thought Gorillas were black and hairy aggressive animals.  After reading some information about it I found out that Gorillas are an endangered animal. I also found out that Gorillas build a nest every evening and A group of Gorillas is called a troop. I then took the information I knew and took my new knowledge to make my new thinking. I found out that Gorillas don't destroy there food source. 

Synthesizing

I created a cover for a biography of Martin Luther King using what we already knew about them and what we found out after researching.  The new information helped us think about what their picture would look like, what the title might be, and what background would match the achievement.
