  1. PARAPHRASE & SUMMARIZE

  2. Paraphrase • paraphrase --> express someone else's ideas in your own language • A restatement of a textin another form or other words--> to simplify or clarify meaning. • The points: 1. You must provide a reference. 2. The paraphrase must be entirely in your own words--> do more than substitute phrases here and there

  3. Steps: 1. Quickly review the passage to get a sense of the whole, and then go through the passage carefully, sentence by sentence. 2. State the ideas in your own words, defining words as needed. 3. If necessary, edit for clarity, but don't change the meaning. 4. If you borrow phrases directly, put them in quotation marks. 5. Check your paraphrase against the original for accurate tone and meaning. (R. VanderMey, The College Writer. Houghton, 2007)

  4. Summarize • summarize --> distill only the most essential points of someone else's work • written in your own words, briefly restates the writer's main points. • absorb the meaning of the passage and then to capture in your own words the most important elements from the original passage. • A summary -->shorter than a paraphrase
