    Paraphrasing Techniques

    1/ Understanding the source:

    - Read and fully comprehended the meaning of the text


    - Identify the voices of the author in the source paragraph
    - Identify the key point in text 37 you want to use in the essay

    2/ Use your own voice in text

    - Rewrite the ideas in your own words and sentence structure.


    - Replace specific terms with synonyms, where possible, without altering the
    meaning.

    3/ Change the sentences structure

    - Rearrange your ideas or break them into smaller sentences to clarify

    4/ Maintain Accuracy

    - Ensure the paraphrased version conveys the same meaning and retains key
    data (e.g., dates, statistics, and comparisons).

    5/ Integrate into Context

    - Connect the paraphrased information to the argument or point you're making


    in your essay.

    Checklist for in-text citation

    1/ Identify the Source


    ● Use the author(s) and publication year for APA-style in-text citations. For
    example: (Horrigan & Rainie, 2002).

    2/ Place the Citation Correctly

    ● Insert the in-text citation after the paraphrased content or at the end of the
    sentence.

    3/ Keep the Citation Concise

    ● Avoid overloading the text with long or repetitive citations; one per
    paraphrased section is sufficient.

    4/ Follow Citation Style Rules

    ● Ensure the citation format matches the required style (e.g., APA: author(s),
    year).

    5/ Contextualize the Source

    ● Introduce the source when necessary, such as: "According to a study by


    Horrigan and Rainie (2002)..."
