A synthesis in its most basic form is a combination of ideas.  In this case, you will combine the assigned source with your own experience and other peer-reviewed sources. 
Step 1 – read the assigned article(s).
Step 2 – Summarize the article in 200-250 words. 
Step 3 – In another 200-250 words give examples of how this article is useful to you and/or relates to other articles in the class (for a total of 400-500 words). 
Step 4 – Submit as a PDF.  At the very least you must cite 2 articles. 
All other facts you include in your paper must be properly cited and referenced. If you have had other classes with me please note synthesis are different from annotations, they serve a different purpose (i.e. the content is different) and they are formatted differently per APA.  I expect these differences to be reflected in your work.
