Synthesising information is not just summarising the information or identifying main points. 3.8.1 Select and bring together effective ways to present outcomes The most appropriate method to present your work may depend on what you are required to do either for your course, or for a work-related project.

Go beyond approaches that marginalize African American history by "shifting the lens" to look at events from new perspectives.
