PARAPHRASE: Put key ideas into your own words TRANSLATE (using synonyms or short phrases) into other words to prove you understand Chunk big picture into PIECES of puzzle

Paraphrasing Pointers You need to capture MAIN IDEAS ( a “TITLE” for the section that sums up the point of ALL the examples and explanation in the section) 1-2 examples (evidence/detail/explanation) that the writer used to support and explain the main idea DON’T USE COMPLETE SENTENCES! Bullet point and boil the idea down to the MOST significant nouns and verbs Put complex terms into your OWN words and pictures Don’t include EVERY example/detail  Choose the supporting detail or two that will help you remember the info (personal connection) OR that seem to be the strongest examples.

EXAMPLE OF PARAPHRASE OF ONE SECTION OF SPEECH: Bottom of page 4 KIDS HAVE succeeded despite BIG obstacles Jazmin Perez-no English, town without college goals, BROWNDR! Andoni Shulz—BRAIN cancer, spent 100s hours on hw, college! Shantell Steve, no parents, job at health center in HS, helping kids stay out of gangs college CA, TX, IL

An acceptable shorter version paraphrase of the bottom half of pg. 4 of the speech: KIDS HAVE succeeded despite BIG obstacles girl-no English, now DR.! boy—BRAIN cancer, CA, TX, IL-no matter WHERE kid is from—boy or girl-work + good attitude=success

HOW OFTEN you stop to capture a shift to a new idea depends on the length of the piece: 1 page—look for 2-3 main ideas 7 pages—chunk each page into 1-3 main topics 20 pages– look for shifts in main ideas every 3-4 pages Entire book—look for 1-2 main ideas each CHAPTER or two
