Creating Your Storyboard
How do we use our research to
create our storyboard?
Summarizing and Synthesizing
• Look for similar information/ideas in
sources
• What is most significant/essential for
reader to know?
• Combine information/ideas together with
supporting evidence
Research
Source 1
• Abraham was born in
Ur
• Migrated to Canaan
• “Father of the
Hebrews”
Source 2
• Abraham was called
Abram when he lived
in Mesopotamia
• Moved to Canaan
because of belief in
single God
• Role in Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam
What is there in common?
• Source 1: Born in Ur
• Source 2: Lived in Mesopotamia
• Combine this information into a single
sentence or phrase:
“Historically, Abraham is believed to have
been born and raised in the city of Ur, in
Mesopotamia.”
What idea should be included
next?
• Migration
• Source 1 gives location: Canaan
• Source 2 gives reason: Belief in single
God
• Combine: “He migrated from Ur to
Canaan because he believed in the idea of
a single God, rather than the many gods of
Ur.”
Can you link the previous idea with
the remaining research?
• Source 1: Father of the Hebrews
• Source 2: Role in Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam
• You try to summarize/synthesize this
information.
• Possibility: “This belief in monotheism led
not only to the beginnings of Judaism, but
Christianity and Islam as well.”
Combine the sentences, and you
have gone from this…
Source 1
• Abraham was born in
Ur
• Migrated to Canaan
• “Father of the
Hebrews”
Source 2
• Abraham was called
Abram when he lived
in Mesopotamia
• Moved to Canaan
because of belief in
single God
• Role in Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam
…to this
Historically, Abraham is believed to
have been born and raised in the city of
Ur, in Mesopotamia. He migrated from Ur
to Canaan because he believed in the idea
of a single God, rather than the many gods
of Ur. This belief in monotheism led not
only to the beginnings of Judaism, but
Christianity and Islam as well.

storyboard today?
2. How well do you understand the process
of summarizing and synthesizing?
3. What obstacles did you encounter today,
and how did you overcome them?
