You should base your essay on an overarching point you are making about the articles\/authors and identity. Consider the insight you\u2019ve gained by examining the articles together. You will need to reference (through quotation and paraphrase) the articles in your essay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\">Your purpose is to show that you have understood complex articles, thought critically about them, and discovered intersections among them. Your goal is notto agree or disagree with a writer, or judge that one is correct versus another. You should assume that the reader has also read the articles so that means you do not need to summarize the articles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto;\">What is synthesis?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\">Any piece of writing (paragraph, short article, book) that integrates material from several sources uses<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">synthesis<\/span>. Synthesizing sources involves smoothly weaving paraphrases and quotations into your discussion, balancing material from two or more sources with your own knowledge and connections. Synthesis can be used for various goals (analyzing a text, explaining a concept, giving information, arguing a point) depending on the particular assignment.For this essay, you are being informative and comparative. The synthesis is not just a listing of similarities and\/or differences between two articles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto;\">Genre Conventions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\">Synthesis\/Response essays usually rely on conventions such as<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 16px; cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Understanding of source material and writers\u2019 ideas<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Logical connections (comparisons and contrasts) between sources\/writers\/ideas<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Use and citation of quotes, paraphrase, and summary<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Clear, topic-based organization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"cursor: auto;\">Topic Choices:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-size: 16px; cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Language, Education, &amp; Identity Readings<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Ethnicity, Race, &amp; Identity Readings<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Technology, Society, &amp; Identity Readings<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Religion, Belief, &amp; Identity Readings<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Identity in Popular Culture Readings<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\">Identity in Cultural\/Global Trends Readings<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; cursor: auto;\">Here are some general questions to help as you read, take notes, and make connections:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size: 16px; cursor: auto;\">\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">How does the writer connect various subtopics about identity\u2014for instance, their personal identity and religious faith, or their personal identity and ethnicity?<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">What does identity mean to the writer?
