A synthesis essay is an essay type
where ideas are combined from two
or more sources.
To write a synthesis essay, you first
need to make a plan.
Select a theme for your synthesis essay
according to your interests. You also
should take into account the interests of
your potential readers and the
relevance of the topic. Avoid too general
and banal themes. The golden rule is
that more concrete information attracts
more attention.
Reading a lot of literature which is
connected with your issue is necessary,
as you have to write a synthesis essay.
Remember that you will use only a part
of the sources you have worked with.
Your task is to read as much literature
(concerned to your topic) as possible.
Even if you have read a lot of information
about your problem before, refresh your
memory in the library. You may find recently
published materials on your theme.
By the way, you should include different
resources, such as books, magazines,
newspapers, brochures and so on.
The next important step is selecting the most
appropriate literature from the whole
literature you have read. It means, that you
have to include only the most convincing and
original literature. You should read the most
appropriate sources once more again.
Underline the key phrases.
After that, you may start writing your
own essay.
A synthesis essay usually has a
classic structure:
1. An introduction paragraph.
2. Supporting paragraphs.
3. A concluding paragraph.
Give some background information
about the topic and sources in your
introduction paragraph. It may also
include a hook (something that attracts
a reader’s attention).
Write approximately three to five
sentences in your introductory.
You may have so many body
paragraphs as you need to compare
the information from the different
sources.
Use your own words to retell the
opinions of the authors, but don’t
change the main point. It means that
you may alter the form, but not the
content.
Summarize everything in your
concluding paragraph. Sometimes
you may give your own point of view,
but it’s not necessary.
