Hi everyone,
In just two more weeks, we'll be finished our research paper! Paraphrasing: In today's class, we learned about paraphrasing. This is another way we can include information into our research papers from our sources. When you paraphrase, you put the author’s ideas into your own words. Even if you want to use general facts from your source, you still have to paraphrase this information. Remember that some paraphrases need in-text citation and some paraphrases do not require it.
Before you paraphrase, you have to identify shared language (= words that you cannot change) and find synonyms for words that you can change. This is the most important step in writing a good paraphrase. This is a difficult skill to master and it often takes a long time to paraphrase information. I even have trouble paraphrasing when I have to prepare research papers, too. Be patient and don’t give up! Homework: 1. Blog Comment #6 2. Complete Body Paragraph #2
Blog Question #6: Review the feedback on body paragraph #1

1. As I wrote last time, I need to be careful when using the plurals. Many sentences were corrected because of the misused plurals. I also need to get the period on the right place when using the in-text citations. Although I get to have a quite good grade for my organization of body paragraph 1, I thought I still need to watch out for my ideas and details of it. My body paragraph 2 has the most difficult ideas in my research paper, so I might need some assistance.

1 First I forgot to conclude my first body paragraph. This time I made a concluding sentence to end the second part of my research paper. I thought the last sentence is important when writing a research paper to make it clear what I want to tell to the readers. Secondly, I made sure i have a paraphrase in my paper.It was hard to change the words to different words and change the order of the sentence. Since the phrase that the writer wrote lingers in my head it was hard to make another sentence in my head.
