Lesson 10 - Paraphrasing

Here is the Powerpoint presentation I made for class today:

Writing to Avoid Plagiarism

Remember these tips for paraphrasing:


- Use a paraphrase when you want to change the style or the language used in the original, either to make it easier to understand or to make it fit better into your own piece of writing.
- Again, read the original text carefully.  Make sure you understand what the author said/wrote.
- The paraphrase should be about the same length as the original text from the author, but both the words and the sentence structure of the original must be changed in the paraphrase.
