Now, based on the activity we have, what

do you think is our topic today?
I think Ma’am it is about
synthesizes.
Very good! Exactly.
D. DISCUSSING NEW What comes to your mind when you
CONCEPT AND heard the word synthesize?
PRACTICING NEW (Students raising their
SKILLS hands)
(13 minutes) Yes, Kitchie.

Synthesize means
summarizing an idea or
information of a certain
topic.
Very good. You have a good idea.

Now, let us first define what is

synthesize. Please read.

Just think of synthesizing like mixing

colors to create a new shade —each color
represents a different source of
information, and when blended together,
they form a deeper, more meaningful
understanding. Understood?
Yes, Ma’am .
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
Region V
SCHOOLS DIVISION OFFICE OF CAMARINES SUR
GOA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
For you, are summarizing and
synthesizing the same?
No, Ma’am .
What is the difference between
summarizing and synthesizing?
Summarizing shortens
one source, while
synthesizing combines
ideas from multiple
sources.
Well said, very good! Summarizing is like
taking notes, while synthesizing is like
connecting puzzle pieces to see the full
picture.

Do people’s opinions influence your own?

Yes, sometimes.
How?
They can shape my
thoughts, but I still
decide based on my own
judgment.
That’s right! It’s good to listen, but always
think critically before forming your own
opinion.

Why do we use multiple sources in

synthesizing? One source might be
biased or incomplete.
Multiple sources give a
balanced view.
Exactly! Comparing different views leads
to a well-informed understanding.

How would you synthesize information

on teenage pregnancy instead of
copying?
Instead of just copying
from one article, I would
gather information from
different sources—like
research papers, news
articles, and expert
opinions. I’d compare
their perspectives,
identify similarities and
differences, and then
form my own analysis.
This way, my work isn’t
just a repetition of
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education

SCHOOLS DIVISION OFFICE OF CAMARINES SUR
GOA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
someone else’s ideas, but
a well-thought-out
response based on
multiple viewpoints.
Yes! Analyzing and connecting
information makes your work original
and meaningful.

Now, let’s proceed to the method of

synthesis.

Strategies in Synthesizing can be difficult

especially if it is your first time to formally
do it. But here is the suggested method
that you can follow.

Please read.

R stands for…?
Read.
First, carefully read your sources to
gather important information.
Yes, Ma’am. I need to
focus on the key ideas in
the article that are
relevant to my topic.
Next, Edit the information. Decide which
ideas are most relevant and reliable for
your topic. By?
By picking out the most
important points and
check if the sources are
credible before using
them.
Very good! Now, Synthesize the
information. Combine the ideas from
different sources to form a new
understanding. You have to?
I have to look for
connections between the
different sources and
create my own
conclusion.
Great job! Finally, Think everything
together. Relate the synthesized
 Republic of the Philippines

SCHOOLS DIVISION OFFICE OF CAMARINES SUR
GOA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
information back to the main question or
topic. What will you do?
I will draw a conclusion
that ties all the
information together,
answering my main
question.
Very good!
E. DEVELOPING Now, Let’s have a group activity. Our
MASTERY activity titled “Blend & Build: The Power
(10 minutes) of Synthesis!”. In this activity, you will
work in groups to practice synthesizing
information—which means combining
ideas from different sources to create a
new understanding of a topic.

Kindly read the instructions.

1. Divide the class into
three groups.
2. Understand the main
ideas of each source.
(Provided by the teacher)
3. Discuss similarities and
differences.
4. Combine key points
into a clear, cohesive
paragraph.
5. Check your work and
share it with the class.
Thank you and of course you will be
graded based on this rubric.

I’ll give you 3 minutes to accomplish that.

You may now start!
(Students work on their
group)
Time is up! Present your work.
Group 1: Social Media
and Mental Health

Synthesized Paragraph
for Group 1:
“Social media has both
benefits and risks for

teenagers. On the
positive side, it helps
them stay connected
with family and friends,
offering emotional
support that can boost
self-esteem. However,
excessive use can lead to
anxiety, depression, and
sleep problems.
Cyberbullying, a common
issue on social platforms,
can severely impact
mental health. Research
indicates that while social
media can foster
connections, teenagers
should be mindful of how
much time they spend
online to avoid its
negative effects.
Very good! Next group.
Group 2: Healthy Eating
vs. Junk Food

Synthesized Paragraph
for Group 2:
"A healthy diet is
essential for maintaining
good health and well-
being. Eating fruits and
vegetables provides the
necessary nutrients that
boost energy levels and
prevent diseases like
heart disease and
diabetes. On the other
hand, consuming junk
food regularly can lead to
obesity, low energy, and
poor concentration.
Studies have shown that
a balanced diet not only
improves physical health
but also enhances mental
focus and academic
performance, making
healthy eating a crucial
habit for teenagers.
Great job! And lastly, group 3.
 Republic of the Philippines

GOA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Synthesized Paragraph
for Group 3:
"Both online learning and
face-to-face classes offer
unique advantages.
Online learning provides
flexibility and
convenience, especially
for students who need
accessibility due to health
or geographical reasons.
However, it can lead to
isolation and challenges
with self-discipline. In
contrast, face-to-face
classes enhance student-
teacher relationships,
promote active
participation, and
encourage social
development through
direct interaction. While
online learning is
beneficial for its
flexibility, in-person
classes offer a richer,
more engaging
educational experience.
Great job, everyone!
F. FINDING PRACTICAL Have you ever changed your opinion
APPLICATION AND about something after hearing different
ABSTRACTION sides? What happened?
ABOUT THE LESSON Yes, I used to think that
(2 minutes) online games were just a
waste of time. But after
hearing my cousin say it
helps him improve his
thinking skills and reading
an article about its
benefits in decision-
making, I realized it
depends on how you use
it.
Great! If two of your friends gave you
opposite advice, how would you decide
what to do? I would listen to both of
them, think about what
makes sense, and maybe
even ask someone else.
Then, I’d decide based on
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
Region V
SCHOOLS DIVISION OFFICE OF CAMARINES SUR
GOA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
what fits best with my
values or the situation.
Very good! Why is it important to get
information from more than one
source—especially online?
Because not everything
online is true. One source
might be biased, but if I
check others, I can see
the full picture and not
get misled.
Well said. All your answers are correct!

G. MAKING Did you learn something today?

GENERALIZATION Yes, Ma’am.
(2 minutes) Can you share something you have
learned today, Darren? Today, I learned about on
how to synthesize
information especially in
deciding and on how to
process information.
Very good! What else, Kiel?
Using different sources
helps give a complete
and balanced
understanding of a topic.
It combines different
ideas, making the
information more
accurate and reliable.
Well said, Kiel. Very good, it seems like
you already learned something today.
Are you ready?
Yes, Ma’am we’re ready.
H. EVALUATING Directions:
LEARNING Read the short texts below. Then, synthesize the information by
(8 minutes) writing one paragraph that combines the key ideas and shows your
own understanding.

Text A:
Many people believe that waking up early helps you become more
productive. According to studies, early risers tend to perform better
in school and feel more in control of their day.
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
Region V

GOA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Text B:
Others argue that productivity depends on your natural body clock.
Some people are more alert and focused at night, and forcing them to
wake up early might make them less efficient.

Task:
Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) that combines the ideas
from both texts. Use your own words. Show that you understand
both sides and share your conclusion or insight.

Expected Synthesized Response (Sample Answer):

Both texts discuss whether waking up early makes a person more productive. Text
A argues that early risers perform better and feel more in control of their day, while
Text B explains that productivity depends on a person’s natural body clock. Some
people work better at night, so waking up early may not be the best for everyone.
In reality, productivity is more about how well someone manages their time, rather
than what time they wake up.
