    Steps to Effective Paraphrasing and to Effective Summarizing

    6 Steps to Effective Paraphrasing

    1. Read the material that you plan to paraphrase. Read it several times so that you
    understand it well.
    2. Set the original aside, and write your paraphrase on a note card.
    3. Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later how you
    envision using this material. At the top of the note card, write a key word or
    phrase to indicate the subject of your paraphrase.
    4. Compare the length of what you’ve written to the original text. They should be
    the same length. Remember, a paraphrase does not condense material.
    5. Use quotation marks to identify any unique term or phraseology you have
    borrowed exactly from the source.
    6. Record the source (including the page) on your note card so that you can credit it
    easily if you decide to incorporate the material into your paper.

    Note: The paraphrase should make sense in its own right. This means that you are
    writing a sentence or paragraph so it should still read like one. If the paraphrase
    doesn’t make sense, revise it.

    7 Steps to Effective Summarizing

    1. Read the article.


    2. Re-read the article. Underline important ideas. Circle key terms. Find the main
    point of the article. Divide the article into sections or stages of thought, and label
    each section or stage of thought in the margins. Note the main idea of each
    paragraph if the article is short.
    3. Write brief summaries of each stage of thought or if appropriate each paragraph.
    Use a separate piece of paper for this step. This should be a
    brief outline of the article.
    4. Write the main point of the article. Use your own words. Be careful not to use the
    author's words or to follow the sentence structure of the original passage. This
    should be a sentence that expresses the central idea of the article as you have
    determined it from the steps above.
    5. Write your rough draft of the summary. Combine the information from the first
    four steps into paragraphs. Make sure that you are faithful to the meaning of the
    source and that you have accurately represented the main ideas.
    6. Edit your version. Be concise. Eliminate needless words and repetitions.
    (Avoid using "the author says...," "the author argues...," etc.)
    7. Compare your version to the original.
