=Paraphrasing & Summarizing=

A paraphrase is...

 * your own rendition of essential information and ideas expressed by someone else, presented in a new form.
 * one legitimate way (when accompanied by accurate documentation) to borrow from a source.
 * a more detailed restatement than a summary, which focuses concisely on a single main idea.

Paraphrasing is a valuable skill because...

 * it is better than quoting information from an undistinguished passage.
 * it helps you control the temptation to quote too much.
 * the mental process required for successful paraphrasing helps you to grasp the full meaning of the original.

B. Rewrite them according to the OWL site guidelines.THE OWL
 * Biology/Earth & Space Science examples:
 * Sample of a good paraphrase:
 * "2050 is a projected date when the planet will no longer be habitable for the human race due to the increase population size, continued use of the non renewable resources, and pollution. This idea is leading many to speculate on the idea of future colonies on neighboring planets where the human race may be able to survive".
 * Physics
 * English 9
 * Sample of a good paraphrase:
 * The terms Hispanic and/or Latino may be defined one way in the dictionary but can vary among the people it often reflects depending on the individual’s culture, background, age, or ect.


 * Chemistry/Physical Science
 * Sample of a correct paraphrase:
 * Sample of a incorrect paraphrase:
 * "There are ninety-two naturally occurring elements on Earth, plus a further twenty or so that have been created in labs", many are not dealt with because little are known about them. Astatine, for example, is unstudied. There just isn't much astatine out there. The most rare element of all, is francium,there are fewer than twenty francium atoms. There are onAltogether only about thirty of the naturally occurring elements are widespread on Earth, and barely half a dozen are of central importance to life.

 * 1) Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.
 * 2) Set the original aside, and write your paraphrase on a note card.
 * 3) Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later how you envision using this material. At the top of the note card, write a key word or phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
 * 4) Check your rendition with the original to make sure that your version accurately expresses all the essential information in a new form.
 * 5) Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you have borrowed exactly from the source.
 * 6) Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can credit it easily if you decide to incorporate the material into your paper.
