This is how you write synthesis

Gotta read the prompt, understand the task
Develop your position, turn the task into a question
Above each source, identify the course
The writer puts, positive or negative
Credibility in the box above
Underline evidence in the sources thereof
Summarize at the bottom what the author does
Do this for all, why? It's because

Make that chart
Claims, evidence, counters for the art

Three sources, let's use four
Toulmin's gonna help you out some more
Thesis gonna be your emphasis
That's how you write synthesis

Hook the reader in, use the topic in this
Keep the reader in, build em' up to your thesis
Cite the evidence where you see fit
Three on commentary to tie back it
Because, consequently, therefore
Use these words to guide your commentary more
Limit evidence and use counter: antithesis
Restate your claim, points won't be missed

Get it written down
Forty-five minutes gonna go around

Three sources, let's use four
Toulmin's gonna help you out some more
Thesis gonna be your emphasis
That's how you write synthesis

Note credibility of the authors of the texts
Use that right before all of the evidence projects
Explain all the claims, leave a blatant mental stain
On the readers, who'll then maybe feed you points to gain
Forty-five minutes is all you have
Spontaneity is nothing bad
You can do the essays in the order you please
This need not be first, do one easy as a breeze

Do it now
Show what you know

Three sources, let's use four
Toulmin's gonna help you out some more
Thesis gonna be your emphasis
That's how you write synthesis

Now
Now
Now
Now you're done
