Big6 #5 - Synthesis

What product or performance will I make to finish my assignment?

The word synthesis means to put together several parts into a whole piece. When you are trying to answer a question, you take the information you have found from all your sources and try to put it together in a way that makes sense to you.

Your project is a result of this synthesis. You will organize all of your information, and then present it in whatever form you choose.

 

Questions you should ask at this stage are:

1. How does all the information from all my sources fit together?

 

2. What can I do to find out if it does?

    Outlining

    Using note cards

    Making a Pyramid

 

3. What is the best way to present the information I've found?

Research Paper     Oral Report      Project     Debate

Videotape    Role Play     Computer    Poster

Presentation        Infomercial Skit
