   paraphrase an entire passage; instead, choose and
   summarize the material that helps you make a point in
   your paper.
3. Think of what “your own words” would be if you were
   telling someone who’s unfamiliar with your subject (your
   mother, your brother, a friend) what the original source
   said.
4. Remember that you can use direct quotations of
   phrases from the original within your paraphrase, and
   that you don’t need to change or put quotation marks
   around shared language (ex: scientific expressions).

Question 18

Answer 18

1. Look away from the source; then write.
2. Take notes.
3. While looking at the source, first change the
