For your Summary Synthesis response you can use the following guiding questions to help you summarize the reading (these are only guiding questions, if they’re helpful use them, if they’re constricting then ignore them):
1) What does it mean for students to “invent the university.” What are students inventing when they write for university audiences?
2) According to Bartholomae, what must writers/people do when they become new members of a community? (Will the community shift to accommodate them or are new members expected to change for the community?)
3) How does Bartholomae frame incoming students? (How does he distinguish between “skilled” and “unskilled” (In your Synthesis you might consider whether this distinction is fair, and whether it applies to you).
