How to Summarize, Paraphrase, and Quote from Sources

  1. Have open and ready to work with
    1. Your MLA-APA mini-essay from October 4th;
    2. The sources you used for that essay;
    3. Any research notes you created for that essay;
    4. How to Summarize, Paraphrase, and Quote from Sources.
  2. Read How to Summarize, Paraphrase, and Quote from Sources and annotate the text following the instructions on that page.

3. Read “Love in the 21st Century”  (hard copy) and go through the steps of summarizing. You are summarizing the whole text into a short paragraph. Remember to cite it. 

4. Share with your table. Questions?

5. Go to the sources you used for your mini-essay. Choose one source. Decide, do you want to summarize the whole article or a portion of it to use in your essay? Review your essay. What point are you making that needs to be supported? Summarize one of your sources and insert that evidence into your essay. Remember to cite it. 

6. Go to the sources you used for your mini-essay. Choose one source. Decide what portion of the source you want to paraphrase. Review your essay. What point are you making that needs to be supported? Paraphrase one of your sources and insert that evidence into your essay. Remember to cite it. 

You should have this rubric attached at the end of your mini-essay. If not, copy it and insert it there. 

When you have finished your essay, which means you have

  • inserted a direct quote and cited it
  • inserted a summary and cited it
  • inserted a paraphrase and cited it
  • proofread the essay using the Peer-Self Edit sheet
  • potentially asked someone else to read your essay using the Peer-Self Edit sheet
  • included a properly formatted Works Cited or References page

you are ready to assess your essay using the rubric.

Learning goals
I am learning to…
Apply reading strategies so we can make meaning from a text;
Read different forms of texts;
Identify the elements of a variety of texts;
Use evidence to support my ideas;
Apply your knowledge of the research process.

Today, you will conduct research on your novels to help you get ready to blog about them. First, decide on your blogging topic by reviewing the topics page. Then, go to Goodreads and search for your novel. Read at least three reviews that represent a range of views:
1. Poorly-rated
2. Highly rated
3. Rated in the middle

One research skill you need to have is properly collecting information. There are three methods: quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing. We will review them by reading  “So That Nobody Has To Go To School If They Don’t Want To” .
A second skill you need is note-making. Take a few minutes to review the process and some suggestions for how you might choose to go about developing this skill.
Make a note from each review based on your blogging topic. Remember to include:
1. The source information in APA style;
2. Your thinking in the note;
3. At least one quote;
4. At least one paraphrase;
5. At least one summary.
When you blog, I would like you to include at least two references from your sources (secondary research) and two from your novel (primary research).
