Make sure you attribute all connection statements to yourself . A thesis statement that synthesizes is one that combines and responds to the main ideas of others. A thesis in a research paper will usually be one of these synthesis ideas. Each expository statement, no matter how simple, implies core logic. When we map or outline our own ideas, we think about how our own thesis begs to be developed in a similar way.
All thesis statements synthesize information and ideas .
Synthesis and paragraphing Much synthesizing goes on in and between two paragraphs. It is good to begin practicing it there. Topic sentences that start well designed paragraphs are ways to name point of synthesis. These synthesis paragraphs are the only thing new about developing paragraphs in documented papers. Otherwise, what you already know about introductory, developmental, transitional and concluding paragraphs remains true and will suffice.
