Important thing to remember about paraphrasing

1. Use only important information


2. Paraphrasing is better than quoting too much
3. We must use our own voice and words
The more we write and talk about writing, the better writers we become
Stage of writing: prewriting, drafting, revising, close editing, etc,…
Writing Fellows use redirection and sample writings to help students better
understand the whys of each writing stage

THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM


The main problem is using the original source as a minor
Putting someone else’s information in our own sentence patterns -> Not only
must the wording be different, the the rhythm and pattern must be your own
We think that we are paraphrasing when we are rearranging our source’s
sentences while we keep their original sentence patterns, BUT WE ARE NOT
-> common form of plagarism
Ex: Ask not what your country can do for you. But ask what you can do for
your country
-> Don’t ask what your nation can give you; instead, consider what you are
willing to do for your country

1. Quoting: When the passage is so effective, so clear, so concise, so


authoritative, so memorable “…”
2. Summarizing: When you need to present only the key ideas of the passage to
advance your argument
3. Paraphrasing: When all the information in the passage is important
In-text citation (APA style): Direct quotes (less than 40 words)
Used to cite information that you have taken from another source and used
in your paper
(APA: American Psychological Association)
Direct quotes (less than 40 words)
-> the quotation -> show the author (year) and page
Ex: Caruth (1996) states that…. “…” (p.11)
A Summary of Paraphrase

the signal phrase, but use “and viết tắt”

- A work with Three to Five authors


+ When citing a work with 3 to 5 authors, identify all authors in the signal
phrase or in parenthesis
(Harklau, Siegal, and Losey, 1999)
+ In subsequent citations, only use the first author’s last name followed by
“et al.” in the signal phrase or in parentheses
(Harklau et al., 1993)

When to use long quotes


- When you intend to analyze or critique the quotation – the quotation is
followed by your detailed analysis of its ideas or rheterical
