The objective for the day was discussing how to synthesize multiple texts to form complex analyses.
The lesson began by defining the word synthesize: the pulling of multiple different texts together to form
one main idea. At our groups we then used our notes from Friday on the “Fellowship of the Rings” reading
and clip to identify the choices made by the filmmakers that were adopted from the beginning of Chapter
one. Then regrouping as a class, identified the effects of those choices.

Choices and their Effects of the book:
- Country diction → character is from country, setting in warm environment

After as a class we watched the opening scene of the movie and identified similarities
and differences from the book. After discussing, as a class we took the movie and the book
and synthesized them.
