sure to determine the main idea of each side and explain how those ideas are
supported. Then, determine which article is more effective and why.

note you will choose your own articles and will need to cite them.
Formatting the Essay
A
synthesis essay has an introduction, body, and conclusion. However, each of
these parts is written in a distinct way:
The
introduction
provides an overview of the topic, thesis, and sources, with some background
information for the texts to be summarized.
The
body
includes a topic sentence, information from more than one source, with in-text
citations; it compares and contrasts sources in an objective (two-sided)
interpretation, and informs the reader why the source argues a thesis.
The
conclusion
connects the ideas from the sources to your thesis, and describes how each
supports your viewpoint. The conclusion also rewords your claim so it is clear
you are offering a different perspective on the topic.
This
paper should be 4 pages in either MLA or APA format.
