Quote, Summary, or Paraphrase Paragraph

Welcome students! Today, I am going to teach you about what evidence is. Evidence is that which tends to prove or disprove something. You summarize evidence when you use quotes, and put things into your own words. To summarize you break long sentences into smaller one by using your own words. You quote evidence when you are going to use the exact same words from the internet or person. To use a quote you must put quotations around the sentence in the exact same form. You paraphrase evidence when it is a short simple section of text that you can easily put into your own words. To paraphrase you retell the ideas using your own words. To help you remember this, you should study as much as possible because it will really help.

  2. From your post I learned, paraphrasing is when you take a small section and change it into your own words. Great job on your post!
