Title: Paraphrase Vs. Summary


1
PARAPHRASE vs. SUMMARY
2
Many are confused on how to do a paraphrase and
summary in their paper, simply because they do
not know the distinction between them. In this
presentation, our aim is for you to identify the
difference from paraphrasing and summarizing.
3
DEFINITION
  • To get a better understanding of their
    differences, let us first define the meaning of a
    summary vs. paraphrase.
  • Paraphrasing is a method by saying important data
    from an outside source written in your own words,
    that give sustenance for your ideas.
  • While summarizing is a method in which you shrink
    down the piece of writing, and focus on the
    authors key points.

PARAPHRASING
  • When you paraphrase you change the words of the
    author yet making sure that the idea of the
    sentence is still intact. See paraphrase example
    online to help with this task.
  • Start to read the material and be sure you
    understand what was in it.
  • Highlight main points or ideas and reword them by
    writing it without looking at the real text. In
    this manner you are putting them in your own
    words and avoid unintended plagiarism.

5
PARAPHRASING
  • Be sure to also change the sentence structure.
    Even if you reword the passage, if the sentence
    structure is the same, you still have done
    plagiarism.
  • It doesn't necessarily mean that you have to make
    your text shorter. Sometimes you make longer
    statements than the original, as long as the main
    idea is unchanged.
  • These are the difference of paraphrase vs.
    summary.

6
SUMMARIZING
  • When you summarize you write down briefly what
    was written in the material source. Incorporate
    only the main points and supporting facts. Review
    some examples of summarizing and paraphrasing so
    you can easily differentiate their concepts.
  • Read your material and comprehend it.
  • Like paraphrasing, you would want to use also
    your own words or language to avoid plagiarism.

SUMMARIZING
  1. Before you start to summarize, you should take
    only what is essential to your reader and include
    them in your paper. Omit carefully unnecessary
    details that may lead confusion to your reader.
    Look for summarizing and paraphrasing example to
    give you insight on how to write them correctly.
  2. Do not forget to cite your sources. This will
    depend on what style of writing you are using.
