Week Ten

Finally we came to end of the trimester, so in week ten I learnt about introduction about synthesis, summarizing vs. synthesizing. Synthesis is combining two or more summaries, it refers to writing about printed texts, drawing together particular themes. Synthesis exactly reports information the sources using different phrases and sentences; it is organized in such way that readers can immediately see where the information from the sources cover and synthesis make sense of the sources and helps the reader understand them in greater deepness. 





Summarizing vs. Synthesizing
Summarizing is a basic reading technique where we identify the key points and organizing the thoughts, a listing of the parts. We shows what the original authors wrote and proves an understanding of the overall meaning. And summarizing usually comes at the end. 

Synthesizing is advanced reading technique where we pull information, highlight the important points and we also draw our own conclusions. In synthesizing we Combines and compares information from different sources then we create something new pieces of writing and focuses on both main ideas and details.
