Synthesizing
Think about the best choice using the information you gathered.
Synthesis requires rearranging pieces of information until a new version emerges.
The research process does not go in a straight line. Most times you need to repeat some steps.Keeping your guiding question in mind, discuss how the
information helps answer the questions you posed.
- Open and print your completed Note Sheet, Criteria Rubric, and Ski to Sea Chart.
- Check off all questions answered sufficiently.
- Identify new insights and discoveries of importance.
- Expand your original list of questions to include those new questions, which have emerged during your recent research.
- Identify and discard irrelevant information.
- Condense, combine, and/or rearrange your information in categories as needed.
- Write down new ideas and thoughts that arise as you and your partner look over your notes.
- Identify what information you still need to gather.
 Go to your teacher with evidence that you have
completed steps above.
When you are confident that you have complete information, use that information and the criteria rubric to make your decision on the best location for the race.
The results of the criteria rubric should support your choice.
