Bringing It All Together: Synthesis Skills

Advanced Spanish tasks often ask you to combine information from multiple sources. This could be an article, a chart, and an audio recording—all on the same topic.

How to Synthesize

Identify the main ideas from each source and find connections between them. Your goal is to create a well-rounded response or essay that integrates all the information logically.

Real-World Benefits

Synthesis is a superpower for research projects, presentations, and making informed decisions based on different viewpoints.

Examples

  • Reading a study about recycling, listening to a podcast with expert opinions, and writing a summary that includes both perspectives.

  • Using statistics from a graph and quotes from an article to support your point of view in an essay.

In a Nutshell

Combine information from different sources to show deep understanding.
