Character Characters = the people or animals in a story What do the characters say? What do they do? What does this tell you about them?

Paraphrase Paraphrasing is putting the ideas of a story or selection into your own words. Something that is paraphrased has the author’s meaning, but it is simpler to read than the original text.

Paraphrase After you read a difficult sentence or passage, think about what the writer said and retell it in your own words. Be sure not to copy the exact words from a sentence or passage.
