Synthesis and QAR

I learnt how to use sythesis and QAR based on a text called Fire Fast Food.

First, I did the synthesis activity. This activity was about reading the text and using our prior knowledge to search for new information and combining those two things to come up with a new understanding. I had to decide wheather I could agree or disagree about something in the new understanding box.

Next, I did a QAR activity. This activity was about reading ten questions and putting it in the correct box. The boxes were right there, think and search, author and you, and on my own. Right there is the answer is in the text, think and search is the answer is in the text but we have to look somewhere else to find the information, author and you is the answer is not in the text but we have to use our own background knowledge and what the author has told you to come up with an answer, and on my own is not in the text but we have to come up with answer.

Lastly, we put the questions in the correct box and answered them.

I learned a lot about this activity because I used reading skills to come up with my own prior knowledge and combined the two pieces of information to come up with a new understanding.
