Entry #4

I found the synthesis essay challenging. After reading all the articles I had two possibilities regarding the topic I wanted to stress, and I had to decide what my point of view was. While reading,  I had outlined the main ideas of each article, and tried to match key points or establish relationships amongst them.   

During a second phase, after a review of my notes, I was able to focus on the role of literacy in the success of a person.  To develop on this I used the TS/CD strategy which is really useful to keep a coherent and organized flow of ideas.  The text organization reflects the ability of the writer to make interesting the topic of the paper. I had a hard time, again,  with the MLA style.  I hope to learn it before the end of the semester.
