Paraphrasing
Paraphrasing is a way of using different words
and phrasing to present the same ideas. Paraphrasing
is used with short sections of text, such as phrases and
sentences. A paraphrase offers an alternative to using
direct quotations and allows you to integrate
evidence/source material into assignments.
 Paraphrasing involves expressing a passage from
the source material into your own words. Paraphrase
must also be attributed to the original source.
Paraphrased material is usually shorter or with the
same length as the original passage, taking a
somewhat broad segment of the source and
condensing it slightly.
STEPS TO PARAPHRASE

Things to remember when paraphrasing
1. Rewriting Approach:
When we want to alter the natural progression of an
idea, we use a rewriting approach. That includes using
different synonyms and changing the wording order to
express the same context.

Rewriting, in its simplest form, is a method

for restructuring text without changing its
meaning.

2. Summarizing Approach:
The summarizing approach is a method that enables us
to paraphrase original text by extracting its essential
points.

This is a very helpful strategy, especially when dealing

with lengthy texts.
In addition, the summarizing method is particularly useful
when writing listicles, where it is necessary to focus on
the most key characteristics or aspects.
3. Expand Approach:
The expand approach is a paraphrasing method that
we use when the original text requires additional
information for better clarity of the context.

If you find yourself stuck trying to think of a

compelling way to organize your brainstorming,
this technique may help.
As you can see, when using the expand approach,
you rewrite the original text while adding words
that fit the context.

The original intent is preserved, while additional

words help the reader better grasp the overall idea
of the message you are trying to convey.
4. Different Tone Approach:
A different tone approach is a paraphrasing method
that helps us convey our original message differently.
You are familiar with how to adopt a different tone in
your everyday communication.
For instance, you know that you need a different tone
of voice when talking to your boss, your mother, and an
opponent in an argument, right?
Likewise, when writing content for different target
audiences, depending on the outcome you need to
achieve (sell, encourage, entertain) you’ll use a
different tone of voice.
