4. Synthesizing content from your resources

After locating your resources, you will select and organize salient points from them to support and lend credence to your in-service.

  • Categorize the data from your resources into subtopics. For example, if your chosen topic is sheltered instruction (SI), you might want to break that down into different components of SI, such as what SI means, comprehensible input, learning strategies, assessment, etc.
  • Consider what specific points you will address from each subtopic and take notes from your resources.
  • TIP: in a 2 column table list resources in one column and jot down important points you would like to address from them in the second column.
