CLEAR instructions on STEP 1 & 2 of the synthesis project

You are  creating page one of the prompt. See examples in the previous post.

1. Choose a topic-DONE
2. Step 2:
3. Copy and paste the first half of the prompt.
4. Introduction: This section will serve as an introduction to your topic. It should be one to two paragraphs in length (preferably one). In this paragraph, you will want to give background information about the subject at hand. Keep in mind that this Introduction goes BEFORE the reader has gotten to the Assignment section. Be careful to address each major potential side to the issue, so you do
   not “slant” the reader in one direction. You will need to determine what background information is MOST essential to the reader who is going to view the accompanying sources.
5. Assignment: This section is mostly coped and pasted, except for the most important part, the last line. This is the part where you state your  exact prompt. State a claim about your topic that students can either agree or disagree with. can someone answer yes or no to it? At this point, you will not be able to list your sources on your Prompt Sheet the way you see them on the examples. We did not get to that part yet. Please remember when writing your prompt, ask the student to synthesize at least THREE of the six sources for support!

That’s it. The prompt page is worth 10 points. Please add the names of everyone in your group and your academy at the top to the right of the screen.
