Practical exercise

Three source synthesis on one Pakistani event

You will pick one current Pakistani event, find three different sources on it, weigh them honestly, and produce a one page synthesis sheet. The sheet will look small. The thinking behind it is the closest practice you can do for adult civic reading.

Three source synthesis on one Pakistani event

Stretch

Build a small folder of synthesis sheets across one quarter. After ten sheets, look back: which Pakistani sources earned trust most often, which earned it least. The pattern is your personal media map.

Goes into your portfolio

One A4 sheet titled synthesis-NN with the event name, three source rows of four cells each, three lines of agreement and conflict, and a three to five sentence synthesis paragraph ending with what you still do not know.
