Synthesis Essay AP Exam

Synthesis A complex whole formed by combining. The combining of separate elements or substances to form a coherent whole. In writing, you create an argument by synthesizing a variety of artifacts. Example: research paper

Synthesis From the test itself: The question requires you to synthesize a variety of sources into a coherent, well-written essay. Synthesis refers to combining the sources and your position to form a cohesive, supported argument and accurately citing sources. Your argument should be central; the sources should support this argument. Avoid merely summarizing sources.

Getting Started The prompt may ask you to: –Defend –Challenge –Develop a position (for or against) Pick the easiest one before you begin reading the artifacts –You do not have to agree with this position –Stick with this—do not change it –Annotate while reading the artifacts

Your Argument Artifact #1Artifact #6 Artifact #2 Use at least 5 artifacts to support your argument. Artifact #3 Artifact #4
