Week Eight

Week eight was all about the Summarizing, Paraphrasing and Quoting.

PARAPHRASING: paraphrasing is a passage borrowed from a source and rewritten in our own words. It should be true the original authors idea which is more focused on part of the source and condense it slightly.And if we follow the steps like read the martial several times, try to rewriting the material in your own words without looking at the original source then it will be benefits for us. such as it helps to avoid cases of plagiarism and it looks like an industrious enthusiastic student who choose to spend hours researching. when you do the paraphrase yo have to cite the sources which is authorized a reader to locate the passage to which you are referring as well as to pull their own conclusions.

QUOTING: Where we have to repeat a passage from a author or statement by someone. For short quotations we use quotation mark but if our quotation has more than forty words we don't use the quotation mark. Use quotes when the author's words are so accurately stated that they cannot be paraphrased.

SUMMARIZING: is to give brief statement of the main points. when we do the summarizing of about something we must use in our words and it must be attributed to the original source. Summarizing helps us to remember the big idea of the what you are reading in text and you will be able to pick out the important idea.
