Synthesize:
definition from dictionary.com
to form (a material or abstract entity) by combining parts or elements ( opposed to analyze): to synthesize a statement.
I found this word in our reading in Teaching Reading in theContent Areas on pages 19-28 in the during reading strategies section. I picked this word because it said to "synthesize ideas that appear in different locations in the text or from a number of texts." I found this interesting because I often use this word and sometimes I think that we forget what it really means on a test that our students may need to take, especially for high school teachers we often forget to explicitly teach these testing words and assume that our students know them. I also liked this picture because it incorporates the visual picture of theRussian nesting dolls where each one is different or the same but smaller yet they fit all together to make one just like the specific definition for this reading.
