chapter 05: Synthesis

ASmk and greeting, by now i would like to write my reflection as to share with you all for what i have learned in Information Literacy class from chapter 05, in this chapter i have learned about Synthesis. So what is synthesis? “Synthesis is putting the Pieces Together,  “Synthesis is about organizing the different pieces to create a beautiful mosaic, a meaning, a beauty, greater than the sum of each shiny piece” (Ellin Keene).  Base on David Harris “Synthesizing is like baking a cake- all the different parts mixed together becomes a whole new thing.”  Why do we need to put the pieces together anyway?  According to Ellin Keene “In order to construct any kind of meaning in our literacy learning and our life learning, we must find ways to cull and prune the details with which we are bombarded.  We must reorganize and create our own explanations for what we are learning, our own definitions of our lives at any particular juncture.”
