“this writing you will do to produce an argument that reaches across your earlier work. This should be entirely new writing. You may refer to a few of your responses specifically to connect this argument, but do not simply repeat what you have already said. You should demonstrate some thinking and reflection. Consider what themes your responses have in common or how some differ from others. You can set your earlier arguments and those of the authors’ against each other to produce a stronger synthesis. Again, this is not a summary, do not try to summarize all your responses or the class material. Use your responses and the class material as examples or evidence to develop your argument in writing. “
