  7. Paraphrasing

  8. Paraphrasing is putting a section from the original material into your own words.

  9. You must cite the original material here also.

  10. Paraphrased material is usually shorter than the original passage. It takes an overview of the whole topic.

  11. Could you paraphrase the whole Harry Potter series?

  12. NO

  13. You could paraphrase one scene though. • Practice paraphrasing the scene where Harry buys his first wand.

  14. Example of Paraphrasing • Pretend Article from the AJC: • All the teachers at Lilburn Elementary will be attending a lecture on Thursday at the University of Georgia. The famous author, J. K. Rowling will be speaking to the elementary teachers and staff. The lecture will conclude with an autograph session and a reception in the auditorium. This conference will be sponsored by The Steven Spielberg Council for Under Appreciated School Librarians, and each librarian attending will receive the entire set of novels by J. K. Rowling, including a preview of her new book, Mystery in the Under Staffed Media Center.
