The source synthesis chart will act like your outline for this essay. It will allow you to graphically organize your three articles based on three points of comparison that you will choose. Points of comparison/contrast can include: TV and it's influence on child development or TV and it's influence on human pyschology.
The source synthesis powerpoint will give you a good idea on how to combine the three articles into a cogent essay on the topic of television. The idea is not to take sides. What we are striving for in this essay is the ability to compare and contrast or evaluate the idea of how television influences our culture based on the information in each of the three articles.
The example essay is a great resource. Read it over and see how you can pattern your own essay after it. Pay special attention to the thesis statement and topic sentences, as well as the introduction and conclusion.
Finally, I upload a document on language for comparing and contrasting. It shouldn't require any explanation.
