Read each article as instructed. Then write a summary of the article, highlighting key concepts discussed by the authors and major findings. Explain why these findings are important (draw on the discussion and conclusion section for these). Do this for each article and corresponding summary.
Next, write your synthesis section. In this section, your goal is to create a general ‘take-away' message for the reader as to what the three research studies found. Look for commonalities among the articles, or for points of difference and contention. Try to say something substantive about the points of the three summaries.
If you want to put anything personal in the paper, it should only go in the synthesis section. In general I'd say to avoid putting personal things in the paper as much as you can, but I know sometimes it just feels right
