Write a synthesis essay using  three of the assigned essays. Present a clear thesis at the end of your opening paragraph. Write three or four well-developed body paragraphs and a thoughtful conclusion. Offer three-to-five integrated quotations to support your claims. In-text citations and a works-cited listing are required. Note: No outside sources are permitted.
A synthesis essay is not a summary of sources.
Engage in lots of exploratory prewriting. Reread the source essays.
Organize your essay around ideas, those points of connection that support your thesis.
Use your own words. Keep quotations brief.
In other words, write about the connecting points between these three womens stories and the adversity they had to overcome.
