  2. How to use quotations and paraphrases • Read the entire text, noting the key points and main ideas. • Summarize in your own words what the single main idea of the essay is. • Paraphrase important supporting points that come up in the essay. • Consider any words, phrases, or brief passages that you believe should be quoted directly.

  3. Examples • Original: Her life spanned years of incredible change for women. • Paraphrase: Mary lived through an era of liberating reform for women. • Original: Any trip to Italy should include a visit to Tuscany to sample their exquisite wines. • Paraphrase: Be sure to include a Tuscan wine-tasting experience when visiting Italy.

  4. Paraphrase of paragraph Original Passage: • In The Sopranos, the mob is besieged as much by inner infidelity as it is by the federal government. Early in the series, the greatest threat to Tony's Family is his own biological family. One of his closest associates turns witness for the FBI, his mother colludes with his uncle to contract a hit on Tony, and his kids click through Web sites that track the federal crackdown in Tony's gangland. Paraphrased Passage: • In the first season of The Sopranos, Tony Soprano’s mobster activities are more threatened by members of his biological family than by agents of the federal government. This familial betrayal is multi-pronged. Tony’s closest friend and associate is an FBI informant, his mother and uncle are conspiring to have him killed, and his children are surfing the Web for information about his activities.
