Paraphrasing in three, easy steps

What is paraphrasing? Your textbook describes it as: Putting something into your own words. Unlike a summary, a paraphrase is usually about the same length as the original

Why do you need to know? Paraphrasing is a tool that is used in two, important skills: 1. Reading comprehension – it helps you to decode, or figure out the meaning of, difficult or complicated text 2. Research – you want to try to limit quoted material in research papers to 10%...which means you need to know how to express others’ ideas in your own words. (YOU STILL, ALWAYS NEED TO GIVE CREDIT TO THE AUTHOR!)

How to paraphrase You need to learn how to RAP Step 1: R ead a paragraph. Read the paragraph silently. As you read, be sure to think what the words mean.

Step 2 A sk yourself, "What were the main ideas and details of this paragraph?" After reading the paragraph, ask yourself, "What were the main ideas and details?" This question helps you to think about what you just read. You can also look quickly back over the paragraph to help you find the main idea and the details related to the main idea.

Step 3 P ut the main idea and details in your own words. Now put the main idea and details into your own words. This will help you remember the information. Try to give at least two details related to the main idea.

Extra clues Some rules that help find the main idea are: Look for it in the first sentence of the paragraph. Look for repetitions of the same word or words in the whole paragraph. If you don’t know what a word means, try to use context clues, then a dictionary. Don’t let that preclude your success. You are just looking for the gist of the text.

R ead a paragraph. A sk yourself, "What were the main ideas and details of this paragraph?“ P ut the main idea and details in your own words.

Now, let’s RAP it out Flip your note page over and let’s try out this reading strategy. You may work with a neighbor on this practice activity.

Because I can tell you are interested in me. I admit, you are attractive But I would prefer that you don’t act conceited

Recap Paraphrasing is an important skill to know for both reading comprehension and research Three steps to paraphrase: Read a paragraph. Ask yourself, "What were the main ideas and details of this paragraph?“ Put the main idea and details in your own words. RAP it out!
