The document provides instructions and content for several learning activities related to synthesizing information from multiple sources. It defines synthesis as the combination of ideas or elements to form a new whole. It outlines the process of synthesis, which involves organizing findings, identifying patterns, and comparing viewpoints. Students are instructed to synthesize information about a poem by answering questions after reading the poem and then reading an analysis of it. The goal is to demonstrate understanding synthesis through combining information from different sources.

18. WHAT IS SYNTHESIS?
The composition or combination of parts
or elements so as to form a whole.
The act of combining different ideas or
things to make a whole that is new and
different from the items considered
separately.
It involves looking for similarities and
differences between your sources.

19. SYNTHESIS IN LIFE
What can you depict from these images when you are
gathering an informaton?
Kindly jot down your response in your activity
notebook using three concise and clear sentences.
ACTIVITY 4.

20. SYNTHESIS IN LIFE
In real-life scenarios, we
often unconsciously
integrate information.
That info we could get from the
internet, speakers, books, home,
conversation and school.

21. Real life example:
You saw a Marvel movie trailer with positive comments on
Facebook, but your Marvel fan friend at school didn't like it.
He mentioned that the cinematography in the other movie
trailers is much better than in the current one.
In that situation, you unintentionally distinguish between the two
sources and insert your personal viewpoint or opinion.
That is what we called synthesizing.

22. Real life example:
The key is not simply summarizing what you've read or heard;
instead, it involves analyzing information from multiple sources
and shaping your own perspective.
Explanation
Through synthesizing you can
form new ideas and opinion.

23. McCombes (2020)
It is beyond summarizing
ideas from various text, one
must analyze and combine
his generalization and
conclusion to the analysis
made.

25. SYNTHESIZE VS SUMMARIZE
To summarize is
to give a brief
overview of the
main points of a
single text
To synthesize is to combine
information from multiple
sources and create a new
understanding or perspective.
Each of your paragraphs will include
multiple source and citation, as well as
your own ideas and voice.

28. THE PROCESS OF SYNTHESIS
Organizing
Your
Findings
Begin by organizing the
information you've collected
from different sources. Create a
system, such as note-taking or
outlining, to keep track of key
points, evidence, and insights.

29. THE PROCESS OF SYNTHESIS
Identifying
Patterns
Look for patterns, themes, and
connections among the
information. Identify common
threads that link various sources
together.

30. THE PROCESS OF SYNTHESIS
Comparing
Viewpoints
Analyze the differing viewpoints
and perspectives presented in
the sources. Compare and
contrast these viewpoints to
gain a comprehensive
understanding of your topic.

31. THE PROCESS OF SYNTHESIS
Consider:
A Venn diagram can be a helpful tool for
visualizing connections and overlaps between
different sources. It allows you to see where
ideas converge and diverge, aiding the
synthesis process.

As you synthesize information from multiple
sources, it is crucial to engage in critical
evaluation to ensure the credibility and reliability
of the information you incorporate. Here are
essential aspects to consider when evaluating
your sources:

Annabel Lee
BY EDGAR ALLAN POE
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

42. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me.

43. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

44. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

45. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

46. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

48. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
Now read the analyzation of the poem.
‘Annabel Lee’ was the last poem Edgar Allan Poe
completed before his untimely death in 1849. Precisely
who the inspiration for the character of ‘Annabel Lee’
was remains a mystery, although Poe’s cousin,
Virginia, whom he fell in love with when she was
thirteen, is the leading candidate.

49. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
The narrator fell in love with Annabel Lee when they were both
young and his love for her continues even after her death;
however, the urge to offer a narrowly biographical analysis of
‘Annabel Lee’ should probably be resisted.
Poe was an extraordinarily imaginative writer (almost single-
handedly perfecting the short-story form, and inventing
detective fiction along the way); not everything he wrote
stemmed from his own personal circumstances.

50. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
‘Annabel Lee’: style and mode
Poe’s poems are predominantly cast in the Romantic
mode, meaning that he follows poets like John Keats
in setting many of his narrative poems in enchanted or
fairy-tale lands. ‘Annabel Lee’ is a prime example: the
fact that Annabel Lee lives in ‘a kingdom by the sea’,
and that the events the narrator outlines happened
‘many and many a year ago’ (the poet’s version of
‘once upon a time’).

51. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
He is looking back, nostalgically, at the young love
he and Annabel Lee shared; but putting such distance
between ‘now’ and ‘then’ also reinforces the strength of
his love for her, since he continues to visit her grave
years after her death.
Although ‘Annabel Lee’ is often described as a
ballad, this is only half-true. The poem has the ring of a
ballad that has been passed down through oral tradition
(and that was designed to be sung and danced to,

52. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
accompanied by music), but it doesn’t follow the strict
ballad metre (quatrains of alternating iambic
tetrameter and trimeter, rhymed abcb).
Instead, the form of ‘Annabel Lee’ is actually a little
more irregular: the poem begins with a stanza of
alternating tetrameter and trimeter, true, but there are
six lines rather than four, and the metre is more jaunty
and lively than regular iambic metre: many of the feet

53. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
are anapests (i.e. two unstressed syllables followed
bya stressed) as opposed to iambs (i.e. one
unstressed syllable followed by a stressed).
This keeps the metre of the poem on its toes (we
might say it keeps the poem’s ‘feet’ on its toes), and
reflects the sudden death of Annabel Lee as well as
the ballad-like feel Poe is seeking to create, harking
back to medieval ballads about true love and
kingdoms by the sea.

54. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
Poe never lived to see ‘Annabel Lee’ published: it
appeared posthumously in the Southern Literary
Messenger in November 1849. Poe had died a month
before, having been found delirious, and wearing
somebody else’s clothes, on the streets of Baltimore.

55. LET’S SYNTHESIZE!
ACTIVITY 5.
What do you think is the main topic of the poem?
After reading the analysis of the poem, what lesson can you
