warm-ups for students to complete in the first ten minutes of class where they have to synthesize information across two passages.

This learning resource focuses on the practice of synthesizing information from multiple texts to generate new insights. The lesson encourages students to read and interact with two distinct passages concerning social media, highlighting both its benefits and risks. Students will practice annotation techniques and summarization skills with a structured approach to identifying key ideas, connections, and questions. The resource includes scaffolding like a synthesis word bank and guided annotation tasks to help students articulate connections between the texts. A warm-up activity prompts students to reflect on the difference between summarizing and synthesizing, while follow-up synthesis tasks engage them in creating a comprehensive understanding of the content. Additional warm-up sets are provided to broaden the synthesis experience across different subjects and formats, culminating in a reflection on the applicability of these skills in real-world contexts.
