Synthesis Outline

Technology's Peril and Potential 

I. Introduction

       Introduces context

       Summary of texts

       Synthesizing thesis 

II. Compare and contrast of text's "problem" focus

      provides examples and elaboration

III. Compare and contrast text's "response" to this problem

      provides examples and evidence to support point

IV. Synthesis on "moral" questions

      Provides examples from own life/student's "own" thinking

V. Conclusion: reiteration of points, shifting to "we," offers reflection on "warnings" of technology. 

This is a basic outline of the article I sent you all as an example. Again, I'd like to reiterate that you can use these three texts in different ways in order to get your point across. However, the main thing I will be looking at in this synthesis is the flow/structure of the argumentation. I want you to "get somewhere" in the paper.
