Synthesis - Bring it all together
Organize all the information you have gathered.
Go through your notes and think of a way to break the information up into logical groups.
Decide what information really is useful for your project and use it. Be willing to get rid of information that doesn't really fit.

Present the information.
Before making your final presentation (paper, PowerPoint presentation, brochure, etc.), review the assignment so that you know that you are definitely doing what your teacher has asked you to do.
Plan on making a rough draft. Go over it several times to check for spelling and grammar errors. Have other people look over it too.
Try to leave enough time so that you can not look at the product for a day. Then you can come back to it with fresh eyes. This will help you catch odd things that you might have missed before.
If you'll be making a presentation, practice it several times before the real presentation.
Lastly, turn in what you've made or give your presentation!
