Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is restating what someone else said by using words and phrases that are different from those of the speaker or author.
When we rephrase this speech, passage, or text, we retain the original meaning and intention.
Paraphrases avoid using sentence structures that are similar to those of the original text.
Paraphrases are longer and more detailed than summaries.
Paraphrases are integrated into your text in appropriate places to expand, support, or inform your thesis.

Some helpful hints . . . Hint: Hide the original source while
writing. Hint: When you finish paraphrasing, check
to make sure that your writing reflects your own unique style and vocabulary!
Hint: Paraphrasing the ideas of another author means that you need to give credit, both in the text and in the Works Cited page, to the source of these ideas.

Change Words, Not Ideas
Use your own words but make sure they give your reader the same message as the author or speaker intended.
Use words that let your reader know that a paraphrase will follow:

Practice Time! Read the following passage:Described as an “epidemic” by the US Surgeon
General (Satcher 2001), obesity is now recognized as one of the major health issues in the United States.
