    Paraphrase

    Uploaded by

    Ethan Ira Mendoza
    This document defines and explains how to write a paraphrase. A paraphrase restates another work in your own words while retaining the original meaning. It requires changing the wording and sentence structure of the source while properly citing the author and year. When paraphrasing, the aim is to integrate the borrowed idea naturally into your own writing. If using multiple ideas, each must be paraphrased and cited separately. Effective paraphrasing requires changing both the structure of sentences and specific words while keeping specialized terminology and keywords.

    PARAPHR

    ASE

    What is a
    Paraphrase?
    It is a restatement in your own words
    of an idea or item of information from
    the work of another person.
    You convey the original meaning but
    change the words and sentence
    structure.
    You must reference or paraphrase with
    the authors name and the year of
    publication.

    The aim is to integrate a sentence


    expressing the borrowed idea into a
    paragraph of your own writing.
    If you want to use more than one
    idea from another text, you need to
    ensure that you paraphrase and
    reference each idea separately.

    To paraphrase you
    need to
    Change the structure of
    sentences
    Change word

    Changing the structure


    of a sentence
    Read the relevant sentences and make
    sure you understand the main idea.
    Put the article or books away and write
    your paraphrase from memory.
    Ensure that you have changed the order of
    words.
    To avoid plagiarism, check what you have
    written against the original text.
    You
    should check that your version is different
    and you have retained the original ideas.

    Changing the words


    Read the sentence/paragraph you
    want to paraphrase a number of
    times to get the meaning of the
    text.
    Once you understand it, write out
    the sentence in you own words.
    If you do not fully understand the
    text, do not attempt to paraphrase
    it, as you will just copy it.

    Circle the specialized words, i.e.


    the words that the text is
    actually about. These will need
    to
    be
    included
    in
    your
    paraphrase, as without these
    words, the meaning of the
    paraphrase
    will
    change
    completely.

    Underline the keywords that can be


    changed.

    Find other words and phrases that have


    similar meanings that can be used to
    replace the keywords in the text.

    What is the difference


    between Prcis and
    Paraphrase

    Paraphrasing and summarizing are extremely


    similar actions and involve many of the same
    processes.
    The difference between the two is what their
    objectives are.
    The purpose of a summary is to condense
    source material into a shorter form.
    Paraphrasing, however, is not centrally
    concerned
    with
    length.
    Rather,
    paraphrasing is concerned primarily with
