Research Synthesis Work 2/9/17

Today was another day of working on our research synthesis essay for our documentary that we watched last week. This synthesis is the first draft for our finalized essay we are supposed to have finished by the start of march. You have to connect your documentary's claim with the claim of two other sources one good source that's reliable and one bad source that you just found off of google. We only have till Tuesday to keep working on this and we have been working since about last Friday. The importance of writing a synthesis in the first place is to identify your author/directors various claims and to connect them to other sources themes and claims to see what they have in common thus creating a synthesis. To give you a general idea of how it works my documentary focuses on the the topic of Human Morality and how it isn't always so black and white how it can be clouded as to what seems right and wrong. Now I would have to connect this to my two other documents, one of my documents talks about moral dilemmas similar into my documentary and asks the question would you kill a baby to save the lives if about twenty other people or not. So because they both pertain to moral dilemmas that go against natural human morale, they share something in common. I just have to write a bit more till I reach the word count then integrate mt other source into it then I'll be done. This is only just the start the, the next draft for this is coming up soon. But that's about it, well be working one Monday and Tuesday and finish on Tuesday, then well move into our outlines for the next rough draft afterward.
