What is an outline?

An outline is a tool used in improving and organizing written ideas

about a topic into a logical Orders. Writers use outlines when writing their
papers to know which topic to cover and in what order

What are the types of an outline?

The type of outline to be used by the writers depends on the nature

of the topic and purpose of the writer. Topic that are information heavy may
require more major topic and subtopics since the writer purpose is to be as
informative as possible. However, if the writers want to be persuasive, outline
should only accommodate what is importance to the audience’s needs

here are two types of outline: the sentence outline and the
topic outline.
1. Sentence Outline
It is a type of outline that presents the thesis
statement, major topics, subtopics, and supporting
details in sentence form. It allows you to include those
details in the sentences instead of having to create an
outline of many short phrases that goes on page after
page. Also, it follows a hierarchical structure composed
of sentences and headings around the subject of the
speech or essay.

These characters are used in this order in bullet

formatting.

C. Developing and What is Synthesizing? The teacher will discuss about
Deepening The prefix “syn” in synthesis means together. Hence, “Synthesizing Information”
Understanding synthesizing is pulling together different ideas to come up
with a new, bigger idea. It is an on-going process where old
and new knowledge, experiences, opinions add up, blend,
and fit together to create new understanding.
To illustrate: Idea 1 + Idea 2 + Own Ideas = New Ideas

To be able to synthesize, you must also know how to:

Summarize -To shorten a long text by writing the main
points in your own words.
Paraphrase -To put a passage from source material into
your own words similar in length as the original.
Analyze - To break complex topic into smaller parts.
Example: breaking down a cake into its ingredients.
Infer- To use observation and background to reach a
logical conclusion.

How to Synthesize?

The RES Method

For you to be able to synthesize essential information, this
approach could help you.
R – Read two different sources about a topic and jot down
important ideas.
E – Edit notes and put together similar concepts.
S – Synthesize by combining notes with what you already
know about the topic.
However, to help you declutter your ideas in synthesizing
essential information, the following steps can also be of great
help;

Step 1: Organize your sources

After collecting the relevant literature, you need to
organize your notes in a way that allows you to see the
relationships between sources. You can get relevant
information from the following sources.
Print Sources
Books and Textbooks, Newspapers, Academic and
Trade Journals, Government Reports and Legal Documents,
Press Releases and Advertising, Flyers, Pamphlets, and
Leaflets.
Digital and Electronic Sources
Multimedia, Websites, Blogs and personal websites,
Social media pages and message boards.
Step 2: Outline your structure
With a clear overview of the main connections and
differences between the sources you’ve read, you need to
decide how you’ll group them together and the order in which
you’ll discuss them.
Step 3: Write paragraphs with topic sentences
What sets a synthesis apart from a summary is that it
combines various sources. The easiest way to think about this
is that each paragraph should discuss a few different sources,
and you should be able to condense the overall point of the
paragraph into one sentence. This is called a topic
sentence, and it usually appears at the start of the
paragraph. The topic sentence signals what the whole
paragraph is about; every sentence in the paragraph should
be clearly related to it.
Step 4: Revise, edit and proofread
Like any other piece of academic writing, synthesizing
literature involves redrafting, revising, editing and
proofreading. In writing your synthesis, the following verbs
can be of help. DON’T FORGET, to use the following terms
when quoting your source.

asserts
portrays
conveys
contends
highlights
suggests
explains
illustrates
argues
claims

To show agreement, use the following:

Similarly
Equally
Also
Furthermore
Likewise

To show disagreement, the following words can be used:

On the other hand, on the contrary

Although
Conversely
Despite
where
unlike
otherwise
Students’ answers may vary.

Activity 2: Associating Words or Phrases

Directions: Complete the web by writing words or
 phrases associated with Synthesis. Write them down on a
separate sheet of paper.

D. Making Activity 3: Relevant or Irrelevant? Students’ answers may vary.

Generalization Directions: Write R before the number if the statement supports the topic.
Write I if
it does not.
