Step 1:

Carefully read Chapter 23 "Quoting, Paraphrasing, Summarizing." Pay special attention to how the reading explains quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing in relation to one another. As you read, think about when/why you might choose to quote, paraphrase, or summarize in your "Personal Definition of Writing."

Watch this video onCitation (FIU Writing Program).As you watch, consider how citation and quoting/summarizing/paraphrasing are related.

Step 2:

After you read, respond to the following 4 questions.

1. Pretend you need to describe the differences between a quote, paraphrase, and summary to a 10-year-old student. How would you simply and clearly explain the differences?
2. According to the reading, one risk of paraphrasing is copying. What are two specific things to look for when writing a paraphrase to help avoid copying?
3. According to the video, when we find there's part of a quote we are having trouble paraphrasing, what should we do?
4. Choose one of the claims you have written for "My Personal Definition of Writing."
   • What is the claim?
   • What is one specific reading or text from ENC 1101 that you can connect to this claim? (Give the full title and author name)
   • What is one paraphrase, summary, or quote from that reading/text that you can include in your explanation of this claim? Here, you should put the entire paraphrase, summary, or quote along with an appropriate signal phrase and parenthetical documentation/citation.
5. Each claim in "My Personal Definition of Writing" needs to be clearly connected to at least one specific reading or text from ENC 1101. Share another one of the claims you have written (other than the one you shared above) so that your peers can help you think about specific ENC 1101 readings/texts that could be used to support this claim. Here, you might decide to share a claim that you are having trouble connecting to an ENC 1101 reading/text so that your peers can help you brainstorm. Or, you if you are trying to decide between two or more readings/texts for a single claim, you can explain that here so that your peers can weigh in on which of the readings/texts they think might be more appropriate.
