A. Preliminaries

Good Afternoon Class!

Good afternoon ma’am!
Melisa, kindly lead us a prayer.
(the student will lead the prayer)
Who is absent this afternoon?
None ma’am.
Very Good!

B. Motivation

Before we start to our new topic or

discussion I want you to answer answer
first the following questions.

Are you ready? Yes ma’am!

 Direction: Finish the sentences about you
and identify the signa words and the pattern
of idea development used.

1. I usually study hard for a test. As a

resul…
I passed the exam.
2. The possible solution to prevent the
spread of covid-19…
3. Sometimes, I do not have time for
breakfast therefore…
4. I have a lot of hobbies, such as…
Great job everyone! It seems like you’re
able to remember our previous Lesson
and with that we are ready to learn our
new topic.

Based on the activity that you had, Do

you have any idea what is our topic
today? Anyone?
Ma’am, I think our new topic is all about
synthesizing essential Information.

That’s right! Our new topic is all about

synthesizing essential information.

C. Presentation

I want you to listen carefully and take

down notes so that you will be able to
answer the following questions later on.
Are you ready? Yes ma’am.

What do you think is synthesizing, do

you have any idea? None ma’am.

So who want’s to read? Synthesizing- is neither summarizing nor

compiling information. You are not just
looking to create a summary of a subject, but
you are also bringing different ideas to form
a larger one.

Correct! To synthesize information

entails the learner to become a wide
reader and to have patience in gathering
factual information.
In synthesis, there is a need to refrain
from unwanted ideas. That’s why you
must know how to distiguish main idea
from significant details.
That’s right! The topic of the paragraph
it should be answered by the WH-
questions. Now, who can identify the
wh-questions?
Very good! While the signifant
details…
Yes correct! Another skill that a leraner
should develop is noting details.
A learner cannoot directly synthesize
information without passing through a
process.
 Must have a background and
knowledge on citing sources.
 Most always review the sources and
annotate them as well as to avoid
plagiarism (when one uses tha idea of
another without proper citation)
MAIN IDEA
- The topic of the paragraph and
answers the WH-questions.
- It controls all other sentences in the
paragraph.
- It could be found either at the
beginning or concluding part of the
paragraph.
Who, when, which, where, whose, how and
why ma’am.
SIGNIFCANT DETAILS
- The facts, examples, incidents,
reasons, procedures or other spcific
points that back up or elaborate the
main idea.
- They are considered to be supporting
details or body of the story.
NOTING DETAILS
- Is a brief record of something.

Remember that in noting details can be
used for a news or report. Take a look at
this example then note the important
details.
From the sample, here are the details
that were noted. It was answered by
WH-questions.
- It could be a statement, a qoute or
anything that one may have written
down in order to remember.
- It could later be used for speech, to
write an essay, to deliver a news
report or any other type in oral or
written form.
Pacquiao is Best in the World-FWB
Las Vegas – Filipino boxer, Manny
Pacquiao, was named here on October 7,
2007 by FWB as the best boxer in the world
for 2007.
Pacquiao’s superior hand speed and hard
punches put a stop to the boxing career of
Mexican fighter, Marco Antonio Barrera.
When was manny Pacquiao named as a
Filipino boxer in Las Vegas?
- October 7, 2007
Who is the filipino boxer?

Exactly! So there are the WH-questions.
Another skill is summarizing a text.
Thank you! Take note that a summary is
not as long as the original text. Study
this example.
From the example, who can give the
summary of the paragraph?
So that’s the example on how you will
summarize a paragraph. In your
previous lesson, you have learned two
of different sources. But let us have a
- Manny Pacquiao
What is your description to Manny
Pacquiao?
- Best in the World.
Where did it happen?
- Las Vegas
How Manny Pacquiao put a stop to the
boxing career of mexican fighter?
- Superior hand speed and hard
punches.
SUMMARIZING A TEXT
- Is a brief paragraph and is a surface
level explanation of what is
happening in a text.
- It uses sentences which are rewritten
in your own words.
Example:
Last month, my sister karen gave me a new
cellphone for my online classes. My new
cellphone is a smartphone. Applications I
needed for my classes were already
installed. It also has a free headset.
Sometimes I listen to music while answering
my modules.
My phone came with a free silicon case, but
I prefer to cover it with a customizedone. Of
course, my favorite anime character is my
wallpaper. Now, I can browse and answer
my assignments anytime, anywhere.
Last month, Karen gave her younger sister a
short recall. smartphone for her online classes. And all
applications neede for her assignments were
already installed so that she can browse
anytime, anywhere.

Let’s proceed now in synthesizing 1. PRIMARY SOURCE- Display original

essential information. thinking report on new discoveries, or share
fresh information such as journal, articles
speeches.

2. SECONDARY SOURCE- Often try to

describe or explain primary sources, such as
textbooks, research works.
To make a synthesis first you need to
find suitable sources. We have now the
4 steps to synthesize information.

SYNTHESIS- Is a process of gathering

information from different sources,
reviewing their reliability citing sources,
summarizing and writing them down to
come up with a desired result.

One way to begin synthesizing the

literature is to put your notes into a
table. 4 Steps to synthesize information from
different sources.

Step 1 Organize your sources

- Put your notes into a table.
Depending on your topic and type of
Yes, you should have a clear overview literature you’re dealing with, there
of the main connections. are a couple of ways you can
organize.

The essiest way to think about is that
each paragraph should discuss a few
different sources…
I have here an example of synthesis. In
this sample, notice that the sources of
information were sighted and those are
in red.
Noticed that the sources of the
information were cited.
Did you understand?
Any questions?
D. Application
Now let us see if you really understand
our topic. Kindly bring out one whole
sheet of paper and you will have an
activity.
Step 2 Outline your structure
- 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.
- Each paragraph should discuss a few
different sources, and you should be
able to condense the overall point of
the paragraph into one sentence.
Step 4 Revise, edit and proofed
Checklist for synthesis.
 Do I introduce the paragraph with a
clear, focused topic sentence?
 Do I discuss more than one source in
the paragraph?
 Do I mention only the most relevant
findings, rather than describing every
part of the studies?
 Do I discuss the similarities or
differences between the sources,
rather than summarizing each source
in turn?
“ Sharpe (2016) Observed an increase in
students’ ability to focus after they had
recess. Similarly, Barnes (2015) found out
that hands-on activities also helped students
focus. Both of these techniques have worked
well in the classroom, keeping the students

You only have 15 minutes to do the
Activity.
Are you done?
E. Generalization
What was our topic again?
What is synthesizing again?
Nice answer! Can you define the 4 steps
on how to synthesize information.
Very good!
Did you understand class?
Any questions?
engaged in learning.”
Yes ma’am.
None ma’am.
Directions: Note the important details in the
paragraph below and summarize them.
Clouds can be used to protect weather
because different types of clouds signal
different kinds of weather. Cirrus clouds
are generally wispy and elongated in form.
They are made of ice crystals and they
usually appear before a storm. Status
clouds (i.e., stratefied clouds) are heavily
layered and often appear in sheet-like
formation. They are low, dark clouds
which may indicate snow or rain. Cumulus
clouds are billowy. They are white and
may appear during good weather. Nimbus
clouds are dense, dark, rain-producing
clouds. The identification of cloud types is
an important skill for aviator
meteorologsit because clouds present
variable icing hazards, Ice information can
drastically reduce the effectiveness of
airfoils (wings, flags, rudder, ailerons,
elevators) and may destroy the control of
an aircraft,
Yes ma’am.
 Synthesizing essential information ma’am.

Students answer

1. Organize your sources

2. Outline your structure
3. Write paragraphs with topic sentence
4. Revise edit and proofed

Yes ma’am.
None ma’am.

IV. Evaluation
Write TRUE if the statement if the statement is correct and FALSE if otherwiswe. Write
your answers in your paper.

1. When you synthesize you need to look at what two or more writers say about the
same topic.
2. Supporting details guide you in making your synthesis.
3. Notes taking is an important step of synthesizing.
4. Synthesizing is similar to summarizing.
5. You need to look for essential information from different sources to make an
overall point.

ASSIGNMENT:
Directions: Write a synthesis of what you have learned in our Discussion.
