Here are some reminders of what that involves:
Start by introducing the question that you’ll be exploring in your synthesis.
(How can we as writers and readers change the perspective of other readers and writers through grammar and
language?)
Your goal is two-fold: answer the question you’re focused on and explore / participate in the conversation that’s happening among the sources.
This is the time to explore, expand, and experiment.
There is no length requirement, but asking a question, exploring at least three of the sources, and contributing your own ideas to the conversation will probably take at least three pages.
A rough draft should be complete in the sense that you’ve roughed out your beginning, middle, and end, though they might not yet be fully fleshed out.
You might use one structure, but you’re not committed to that for your final product.
This is medium-stakes writing. It requires more thought and revising-as-you-go than does a freewrite, but it is still very much “in the mud and muck” work. I’d rather see more writing with more errors than less writing that is more polished.A rough draft should be complete in the sense that you’ve roughed out your beginning, middle, and end, though they might not yet be fully fleshed out.
