Find an article online about health and wellness, buying a car, hobbies, or planning for a vacation. Read the article and consider the following:
How will you synthesize and present the content of the article to share?
What do you want the class to know and what do they need to know?
How will you share the information so that the content is clear and concise?
This is an opportunity for you to practice use of information and synthesis as you share with one another your own knowledge combined with a supporting source.
