Today in class you will be working on your final drafts of your research essay. Please choose a partner to work with who also has a completed rough draft, and do the following:
1. Read the following essay about what a synthesis essay is (and isn't).

2. Share your essay with your partner, and vice versa
3. Read your partner's essay through the lense of these questions:
1. Is the relationship between sources made clear?
2. Are synthesis words or phrases (agrees, disagrees, contradicts, confirms, goes even further, etc.) used to link two or more different sources? If so, highlight them!
3. Does the synthesis word or phrase accurately summarize the relationship between/among sources?
4. Does synthesized source material overwhelm the writer's voice?
5. Is one source synthesized or otherwise used more than the other sources on the Works Cited page?
4. As you're reading, make comments or suggestions on the document to help your partner improve.
