    Today we learned the processes of writing a synthesis essay. The steps are to read the prompt, analyze the prompt, take a position, and evaluate the source. When choosing how you write your evidence you could use direct quotation, paraphrase, and summary. When direct quoting you should use word for word and no more than two sentences. Paraphrasing means putting the text in your own words. When doing a summary it shouldn’t be no more than one sentence. I’m guessing later in the week we going to have to write an essay. Today’s lesson was just explaining the steps we should take when writing an synthesis essay.
