B. Motivation
- The teacher will present an illustration of a simple girl. The students will try to enhance her
overall look by adding accessories and eliminating some of her marks.
Relevance: Just like in synthesis, we gather different sources or pieces together (accessories) and
remove some of them to make a bigger and more enhanced paragraph.
C. Lesson Proper
Synthesis
- combination of different pieces of information into a whole.
- it is about summarizing analyzing various sources to create something new and meaningful.
- it follows the formula: Source No. 1 + Source No. 2 + Personal Ideas / Observation =
Synthesized Idea

Step-by-step approach on how to make synthesis of various text sources:

1. Brainstorming
- way to think and list the things you already know about the topic.

-
2. Reading and noting key points
- Things you should consider:
a. Read, research and gather information about the topic you are writing or interested about.
b. Use a table to organize or summarize your notes and thoughts.
c. Summary is shortening and condensing a text leaving only important and essential points to
easily grasp the meaning of the text.
d. When writing, make specific notes through organization charts or tables to arrange
information in an orderly manner.

e. Effective notetaking includes paraphrasing and direct quotation.

What is paraphrasing?
- Paraphrasing is the process of restatement or rewording of a text to give it a new taste or form,
and to avoid copying the exact idea or work from others.
Five steps in Paraphrasing
1. Read the text carefully and thoroughly to find the main idea.
2. Record or highlight key words related to the main idea.
3. Form new sentences using the key words listed.
4. Compare your work with the original text, but remember that paraphrasing is not condensing
the material, rather it offers another version of the text.
5. Record the sources to credit the author of the original text.
Example:

3. Identifying similarities and differences from the sources

- Rereading the original text is essential in synthesis, which include identifying the similarities
and differences among the sources.
- The Venn Diagram is an effective tool to show and highlight these.

4. Analyzing and writing your own statement about the topic

- Pull together the information you gained from various sources read and write them using your
own words.
- NOTE! Do not forget to include citations of information from the source to avoid plagiarism.
Example:

D. Application
SYNTHESIZE MY STEPS!
 The teacher will divide the class into five groups. Each group will post the steps in
synthesizing pieces of information in the right order. The order goes from 1-10. The
group who will put the steps proper order will win the activity.
E. Abstraction
 What is synthesis?
 What is the figure that best describes synthesizing?
 What are the Step-by-step approach on how to make synthesis of various text sources?
F. Valuing
  The teacher will ask the students about their thoughts about the quote; “Be inspired but
don’t copy.”
