This document provides guidance for analyzing sources and drafting a paper. It begins by establishing the goal of developing expertise as a reading teacher and writer. It then outlines the components of a successful paper, including an introduction with a clear thesis, objective synthesis using third person and citations, and headings to aid organization. Guidance is given on writing techniques like varying phrasing when citing multiple sources and using minimal direct quotes. Strict rules are outlined for formatting references and incorporating citations within the paper. Deadlines are established for drafts, peer reviews, revisions, and final submission.

Notas do Editor
- If you’ve done a good job on the matrix, you’re ready to look for consistencices, inconsistencies, and patterns in your articles. First, though, you’ve got to think about the type of article – is the article sharing findings or advice? Make sure you’re looking through the right lens. If several of your articles seem to say the same thing, look closer! What are the details/intricacies? Remember, you are becoming an expert on this topic.

- Caitlin’s ideas about switching modes … from computer to paper and pencil.
- Develop a working thesis statement: a rough idea of your topic and the important point you want to make about that topic. Write it at the top of a rough draft or outline and look at it often to keep you focused throughout the essay. NOTE: the thesis statement that you begin with is not set in stone. If you find that your essay shifts topic slightly, you can change your thesis in later drafts so that it matches your new focus. In your paper, include a statement or two in the first paragraph that make it obvious what the paper is about.
- What do you notice about all of these sentences pulled from synthesis papers? -last names only -pub year in parentheses -there can be more than one article saying the same thing Verbs?
- Researcher names aren’t in the sentence, but in the parenthetical citations. Youi can put more than one in parentheses. Punctuation Ampersand instead of “and.”
