DEFINITION:
A brief statement, written in your own words, restating the writer’s main points. Paraphrase, although written in your own words, is used to relate the details or the development of an idea in your source. Importance: Paraphrasing assists your readers in increasing a detailed understanding of your information, and, indirectly, to acknowledge your theory as well founded. There are two main purposes for using paraphrase in your compositions.

HOW TO:
1. Use paraphrase to offer information or data whenever there is no special purpose for using a direct quotation. . . . 2. Use paraphrase to offer your readers a precise and complete account of ideas selected from a source--ideas that you plan to clarify, understand, or disagree with in your essay. . . .

Everyday Use:
Paraphrasing is used every day in reading, writing and daily conversation.

Lyrics

This how you paraphrase

 

The first thing you do is read the passage

Then you think about it

Now rewrite it 2x

 

The first thing that you do

Read the passage that you want to use

Understand it and write it down

Can't just switch the words around

Because you will be confused

If paraphrasing was a game

Then you will lose because you have to know the rules

For example, the people that’s on the news

They got a story and they sum it up

And put it in their own words

I’m teaching paraphrasing

And this meaning in my own words

If somebody, ask you what it is

Just tell them in your own words

 

HOOK

 

The first thing you do is read the passage

Then you think about it

Now rewrite it 2x
