Synthesizing Information from Multiple Sources

Putting it All Together

Sometimes you need to read more than one passage or source to get the full picture. Synthesizing means combining information from different texts to form a new understanding.

How To Synthesize

  • Read carefully: Understand each source on its own.
  • Look for connections: What facts or ideas are similar or different?
  • Make a summary: Blend the information into a clear statement.

Real-World Application

You might compare two news articles about the same event or use information from a book and a website for a project.

Practice

After reading, write a paragraph combining what you learned from two different sources.

Examples

  • Reading a book chapter and a website about penguins, then writing a report that uses facts from both.

  • Comparing two articles about climate change to get a broader view.
