How to write a synthesis1. Read source texts carefully and annotate.� Main idea of each section� Key supporting information for each main point� Author’s conclusions 2. Graphically organize the points of all texts. Use your own words to avoid plagiarism later. 3. Use the graphic to see the relationship between the texts. � Where do they overlap? What are the key differences? � Does one refute the other? Does one elaborate the other? � This relationship must be made explicit in the synthesis.5. Use numbers or arrows on your graphic organizer to note the order you will present the points.6. Write your synthesis.
