Jed asked Maria. Id rather play in the outfield, Maria said. So Maria played in the outfield. Jed pitched, like he always does. He struck out several players. No one minded because Jed let everyone play ball.

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. 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. Read the last paragraph on p. 184, then paraphrase it. (Francisco showed his grandfather how to weed by pulling up plants and shaking dirt off the roots.)p. 184
