Why teach students how to synthesise?
Synthesising is a higher-order comprehension skill that involves students combining their prior knowledge about a topic with information from one or multiple texts in order to create a new, changed or deeper understanding. A synthesis is not a summary, as it involves students inquiring into their own thinking as a result of the information from the text. When students synthesise, they are made aware of how their thinking changes as they read a text. This is deeper thinking than a summary or retelling of a text.
