Short Paragraph “The American juvenile justice system is distinct from the system that deals with adult defendants and criminals. Many people believe that adolescents deserve less blame for their actions because the parts of their brains associated with decision-making and impulse control have not fully matured. They are also thought to be more likely candidates for criminal rehabilitation than adults. Yet, in some states, life without parole is the automatic sentence for homicide, or murder, and is often passed without consideration for certain circumstances, such as age or background. By 2012, the United States had convicted 79 juvenile offenders of homicide and sentenced them to life behind bars”(CommonLit).

Paraphrase=reading information and then putting it in your own words You just paraphrased. Paraphrase=reading information and then putting it in your own words

Why do we paraphrase in research? To show the information that we found To not overuse direct quotes To not copy the source directly

When you paraphrase… …don’t add all the details from the source—only add the information that seems the most important

The Four Rs of Paraphrasing Reword: replace words and phrases with synonyms if you can Rearrange: rearrange words to make a new sentence Realize: some words and phrases can’t be changed such as time, date, place, and names Recheck: Make sure your paraphrase still has the same meaning

In-text Citations When we paraphrase, we have to use in-text citations To show where we got the information

Plagiarism We use citations so we don’t get accused of stealing someone’s ideas which is called plagiarism Use wherever you have used someone else’s words or ideas. Direct quotes MUST HAVE in-text citations as well.

In-text Citations Refer to Works Cited Page, Use the first word

Example Global Sea Turtle Populations Decline. Sea Turtle Restoration Project. 26 May 2002. Web. 22 Sept. 2006. When there is no author, use the first 2-3 words from the article as an in-text citation In text citation: (“Global Sea”).

Example Culliney, John L. Islands in a Far Sea: The Fate of Nature in Hawai'i. Rev. ed. Honolulu: University of Hawai'i Press, 2006. Print When the author is present, use the author’s last name for the in-text citation. In text citation: (Culliney).

Example Ives, Frank, and Jonathan Lydon. "Freud's Vienna Revisited." Discover Aug. 2005: 16-17. Print. If there is more than one author, then use all two or three authors’ last names. In text citation: (Ives, Frank, and Lydon).

Example A recent newspaper article demonstrated just how thoroughly the neighborhood's gruesome past has been forgotten by its residents. While some believe it is just a coincidence, some will argue that it is not. One author believes that there is a mass-murderer on the loose (Jackson). Put your period after the citation

Example You must cite when using direct quotes and paraphrasing. To cite, ( ) then add a period. ( ). Include author’s name or article title
