The document compares the APUSH DBQ essay and the AP English Language and Composition synthesis essay. Both essays require using sources to support a thesis. However, the DBQ focuses on analyzing historical documents, while the synthesis essay focuses on developing an argument and using sources to support the student's own position on a topic. The document outlines the similarities and differences in the prompts, sources, required knowledge, and structure of the two essay types.

Scientific research and publication walk throughRoshni Mehta
Humble effort made in the form of this presentation will assist in the accomplishment of exploratory as well as result-oriented research studies. I shall feel amply rewarded if this slides proves helpful in the development of genuine research studies.
As a scientist, we must write, and, as an experimentalist, writing while you work strengthens your research. Writing a paper can be an integral part of observational science. Our manuscript can even be a blueprint for our experiments.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. What is a Synthesis Essay
and why should I care?
• The synthesis essay is the biggest fish to fry
on the AP English exam. It is the rough
equivalent of an APUSH DBQ, and can
make or break your AP score.
• Time alotted: 60 minutes. (15 reading and
45 writing recommended)
3. What is synthesis?
• Per the College Board: “The synthesis
question asks students to synthesize
information from a variety of sources to
inform their own discussion of a topic.”
• “The combining of separate elements or
substances to form a coherent whole.”
4. What is synthesis?
•entering a conversation about a topic.
•supporting your own ideas with outside
sources.
•noticing how sources connect to one another
and to your own ideas.
•grouping sources in meaningful ways based
on these connections
5. What Synthesis prompts to expect
• defend/challenge/qualify or develop a position about
some claim (involves weighing pros and cons and often,
cost-benefits analysis of a particular
perspective/solution)

argument about which are the most important
considerations)
