4. Definitions Summarize Paraphrase To paraphrase means to express someone else's ideas in your own language. It means explaining what a certain idea, quote, or part of a text means in your own words(like you’re explaining it to a younger student.) To summarize means to condense to the most essential points of someone else's work. It is presenting the most important parts, but you are using your own words!

5. Similarities and Differences BOTH Use your own words Cite source in text (Author & pg.#) Included in the Works Cited PARAPHRASE Includes main point and details Can be longer, shorter or the same length as original source SUMMARY Includes only the main points Is alwaysmuch shorter than original source

6. Why not just “quote?” • Include other people's ideas without cluttering up your essay with quotations • Paper should include no more than 10 - 15 % quoted material (Turnitin and other plagiarism detection sites calculate the percentage of quotes in your original work) • Idea from one of your sources is important to your essay but the wording is not

7. SUMmarize It! Shorter than the text Use your own words Main ideas only

8. When to Summarize • If all your reader needs is an overview, then summarize How to Summarize • Absorb the meaning of the passage • Include the most important elements (main points)

Book: 24 Pages

10. PARAphrase It! Portion of the text Avoid plagiarizing the text Restate in your own words Are longer, shorter, or same length as the text

11. Paraphrasing In other words... You are explaining the quote or text to your reader in your own words. • A restatement of a quote or a portion of a text in another form for clarification

12. How to Paraphrase without Plagiarizing The paraphrase must be entirely in your own words. You must do more than merely substitute words or phrases here and there. You must also completely alter the sentence structure. You must provide an in-text citation, just like a quote, but without the quotation marks (Smith 103).

13. Paraphrasing is not just changing a few words: It is restating in your own words

14. Strategies for paraphrasing: When taking notes, • Do not copy a passage word-for-word • Use bullet points when note-taking-- you will have to formulate your own sentences • Include the source and page number so that you can make a proper reference later on

15. Example - Original source: Police say a man fled a crash scene because he 'didn't want to deal with his girlfriend yelling at him' VINELAND, N.J. (AP) - Police in New Jersey say a man told officers he fled the scene of an auto accident because he ‘didn’t want to deal with his girlfriend yelling at him.’ (1) New Jersey police state a man said he left the scene of a car accident because he didn’t want to deal with his girlfriend yelling at him (Associated Press 2014). (2) A man in New Jersey seemed to think leaving the scene of a car crash was a better option than facing his angry girlfriend. When questioned, he told the police he ran because he didn’t want to listen to her yelling (Associated Press 2014). Which is correct paraphrasing?

16. A copy/paste is a direct quotation. It needs to have “quotation marks” (Author, 2019) around it, with an in-text citation . WHENEVER you copy/paste, place quotation marks around it and include a citation. If you copy/paste any part of a text without quotations and citations, you are PLAGIARISING!

17. Check your Chart! Think about the criteria for summarizing and paraphrasing. Do you need to move your tiles?

20. Practice Group Work: Paraphrase the following quote: “Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” ― G.K. Chesterton

21. Practice: Individual Work Paraphrase the following excerpt from this article: “The New Rules of Communicating in the Digital Era” by By Dalvin Brown, USA Today 3/7/19 Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once required an operator, postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and, voila, you're connected. But also easier is unwittingly getting caught up in a major disconnect by violating a tangle of new rules for communicating. A big one for some: Don't call until you've texted to confirm it's OK to call. But that's just the beginning. "I'm usually pretty chill and not much bothers me," said Mark Angiello, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that really gets under his skin, that he "hates more than anything else in life" is the horrendous one-word message — "K." "At the very least reply with, 'Got it.,'" Angiello said. "At least give me the courtesy of a few words here. You're not that busy."
