1. Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
What’s the Difference?

2. Quoting A quote must be IDENTICAL to the source.
The information must be copied WORD for WORD from the source.
Use quotation marks to set off the quote
Cite your source after the quote (in text citation)
Add the source information to your Works Cited page at the end of your research paper or presentation
Example: “The bowling alley was on the second floor and had a window in back of the pit area. When all the lanes were going, the heat from the pin lights made the temperature close to a hundred degrees” (Paulsen 272).

Marzano, Mary Lou McCloskey, Donna M. Ogle, Carol Booth Olson, Lydia Stack, Carol Ann Tomlinson. Evanston: Print.

3. Paraphrasing
When you paraphrase evidence from a source, you put the information in your OWN words
Credit must be given to the original author or source – cite in-text and in Works Cited page
Paraphrasing IS NOT a summary
Paraphrasing IS NOT changing a few words in the original quote or leaving out or adding a few words
The paraphrased information should not use the same structure as the original quote
No quotation marks are used
Example: . When the second floor bowling alley was busy, the pin lights made the pit area, which only had one window, unbearably hot; sometimes it reached one hundred degrees (Paulsen, 272).

4. Summarizing
When you summarize information, you take the main idea of a passage and put it in your own words
You must still give credit to the original source
Summaries are usually shorter and include JUST the main point of the passage
EXAMPLE: When the bowling alley was busy, the pin lights made it so hot that it was often 100 degrees in the pit area. (Paulsen 272).
