Integrated Writing:
Organizing Information
Necessary Skills
•
Understanding information from both reading and listening passages
•
Taking notes on the reading and listening passages
•
Using information from your notes in your writing
•
Synthesizing the information taken from both the reading and listening passages
Process
Read and listen, then
take notes
Strategy
You will not see the prompt until after you finish reading and
writing, so taking notes is essential.
Take notes of major points from both reading and listening.
▼
Read the question and
understand the task
Identify what kind of relationship between the reading and the
listening the question asks you to discuss.
▼
Select ideas from
your notes
Choose the points that you need to discuss. Think about how
the points in the lecture relate to the points in the reading. The
listening passage will present details that will either challenge the
information presented in the reading, present a counter example,
or describe the consequences of an attempt to solve a problem
presented in the reading.
▼
Include information from both the reading and listening passages.
Organize the ideas
Clearly show the relationship between the information presented
in the listening and that presented in the reading passage.
Limit the time for organizing to less than 2 minutes, in order to
give yourself more time for writing and editing.
