This is one way to synthesize

In this photo, I discuss one way to synthesize. In class, I talked about how one good way to write is to

1. write the source's result at the top (*) (see picture closest to the bottom of this post)
2. notice as many things as you can about the source, i.e., how the results relate to the method, argument, evidence, setting/context (context of the study, not to the context of everyday life in general), etc.
3. break up the things you notice each into paragraphs of their own (again, see picture closest to bottom of this post)
4. craft them with topic sentences each of their own
5. re-craft the original source you started with, that is, with a topic sentence, too (refer back to asterisk *)  
6. check to see if you can consciously apply a topoi to derive greater control over the order/ordering of the paragraphs
7. re-write what's interesting about the source, or each one of your observations, by triangulating the observation with your research question and the context of the source itself, that is, with the topoi in mind: this is one way to make your prose more specific (see picture closest to top in this post)
