What are the differences among quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing? These three ways of incorporating other writers' work into your own writing differ according to the closeness of your writing to the source writing. Quotations must be identical to the original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word for word and must be attributed to the original author. Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and condensing it slightly. Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your own words, including only the main point(s). Once again, it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the original and take a broad overview of the source material.

Quick Review: Paraphrase and Summary http://www.blinn.edu/brazos/parallelstud/development/Annotationsummary.pdf Summarizing can be a continuation of your conversation with the writer. In effect, you are repeating his/her main ideas in your own words. This is not a word-for-word copy of the author’s essay (see the section on paraphrasing). Remember to focus on the main ideas. First, answer two questions: 1) What is the subject of the writing? 2) What is the central message on the subject and/or the main idea? Realize that when you write a summary, you will be reducing the original text by at least half. So as you summarize, you will trace the writer’s train of thought by using the subject, main idea and then the supporting details in your summary. Be careful not to interpret the writer’s ideas, just report them. Be sure to document the source you are summarizing. A paraphrase “accurately states all the relevant information from a passage in your own words and phrasing without any additional comments or elaboration” (Little, Brown 488). http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/563/03/

Annotation + Citation: Annotated Bibliography https://moodle.drew.edu/mod/resource/view.php?inpopup=true&id=186787 Sample annotation First, write a summary, not a description Description: This is a documentary about HIV/AIDS in Angola, the doctors who study it and the people who have it, such as Gaspar and Maria. Summary: In order to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in Angola, the military first ordered soldiers to get tested so they could determine which area had the greatest infection rate. Once they knew that, they could educate everyone about the dangers of HIV/AIDS and how to avoid getting it. Because truck drivers, soldiers, and prostitutes are the main vectors that spread the disease, Dr.Bing hypothesized that the center of the country would have less infection because the civil war had prevented people from traveling. The documentary follows his research; his hypothesis was correct. The documentary also raises cultural issues, such as the impact of multiple sex partners, and tells personal stories of individuals to increase our engagement. Second, write the citation "AIDS Warriors." Wide Angle. WideAngle.com. Prod. Micah Fink and Andrew Young. PBS. WNYC, New York. July 24, 2003. Web. Third, combine them: Annotated Bibliography In order to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in Angola, the military first ordered soldiers to get tested so they could determine which area had the greatest infection rate.

Paraphrase vs. Annotation When we annotate, we provide “critical commentary or explanatory notes” about a text. For example, in draft documents, where another reader has written notes about the quality of a document at a certain point, "in the margin", or perhaps just underlined or highlighted passages. Paraphrasing involves “restating a passage, quote, book, summary, etc. using different terms” to help support a point the writer is making.
