• Restates the information.
• Shows what the original authors wrote.

• Demonstrates an understanding of the overall meaning.

Synthesis

• Pulls together information not only to highlight the important points, but also to draw your own conclusions.
• Combines and contrasts information from different sources.
• Not only reflects your knowledge about what the original authors wrote, but also creates something new out of two or more pieces of writing.
• Combines parts and elements from a variety of sources into one unified entity.
• Focuses on both main ideas and details.
•
