Reading | Synthsis

 This week for reading we did a task called synthesis.

Synthsis is a task about what new information we learnt about the book we've read. The book I read was called white water action. White water action is a book about kayak racing and what happends during the event. 

First we had to fill in the prior knowledge. The prior knowledge is about the things you already know about the book. For example: Water is a colourless liquid that forms the sea, river, lake, and rain.

Next We had to fill in the new information box. The new information box is about new things or facts you didn't know about the book. For example: Tasmania is  an island in the South Pacific in the smallest state of Australia Tasmania was  discovered by the Dutch explorer Tasman in 1642. It was named after the dutch explorer tasman. 

Lastly we had to fill in the new understandings. The new understandings box is about the new things you learnt. Some of the things I learnt was about kayak races. You only have kayak races in the summer because of how hot it is. 

I really enjoyed doing this activity becuase I learnt new things about kayak races.
