1. "Synthesizing Sources" & "Synthesis Writing"- These two documents will be emailed to you as pdf. attachments.
2. Three articles from the New York Times that relate to impacts of the recent Tucson shooting:
- “Cowgirl Country” by Rebecca Traister http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/23/magazine/23fob-wwln-t.html?_r=1&ref=arizonashooting2011
- “State’s Budget Crises Cut Deeply Into Financing for Mental Health Problems” by Marc Lacey, Kevin Sack, & G. Sulzberger http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/21/us/21mental.html?ref=arizonashooting2011
- “After Shooting, Fresh Look at Protecting Law Makers” by Carle Hulse and Ashley Parker http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/10/us/politics/10security.html?ref=us
We will use these three articles to practice synthesizing sources together in class. As you read these articles, imagine that your topic is an examination of the political and social impacts of the Tucson shooting. Pay attention to commonalities and differences between the sources. Ask yourself how they, together, contribute to the topic as a whole. Remember to bring a copy of each article with you to class and any notes you have taken on the articles so we can get right into discussion.
