Practice summarizing and paraphrasing
Common problems appearing in drafts (40)

-ineffective signal phrasing to indicate HOW the source is being cited

-text appearing as a summary or paraphrase with key words or phrases from the original

Tips for summarizing
* Carefully read the text you are summarizing
* Write the main idea of each paragraph in your own words
* If some paragraphs have similar ideas or the same idea, write one idea for this group of paragraphs
* Write the main idea of the entire passage in your own words

Combine these lists of ideas into a summary that includes
* one sentence that states the main idea of the entire text
* one sentence for each of the key points from the individuals paragraphs or groups of paragraphs that support the main idea.
* an in-text citation for the source of the summarized information

Things generally left out of summaries
* examples
* quotes

Tips for paraphrasing

• Carefully read the text you are paraphrasing


• while looking at the paraphrase, write a 4 word summary of each sentence in the text in your own words


• Put away the original text


• Using your 4 word summaries, explain the main ideas of the passage by writing sentences in your own words

Check your version against the original:

1. does it convey the correct ideas?


2. Does it use any exact quotes?


3. Does it too closely mimic the sentence structure of the original?
   
   

• If you find exact quotes, place them in quotation marks and include an in-text citation * Include an in-text citation for the entire paraphrase
