Welcome my wonderful students! Today I am going to teach you all about the meaning or evidence, what is summarizing, quoting, and paraphrasing. Evidence is a text that you found in a reliable source that will help you with your focus question. You summarize evidence when it is a long selection of text such as multiple sentences or an entire paragraph. To summarize you retell the ideas of the text using in fewer words. You quote evidence when it is a short and very specific section of text that you need to copy exactly to keep its meaning. To use quote you copy the text exactly how it is appears and put quotation marks around it. Your paraphrase evidence when it is a short and simple section of text that you can easily put into your own words. To paraphrase you retell the ideas and put them in you own words. To help you remember this, you should practice this in all that you do especially in all of the assignment that I will be shortly giving all of you.
Tomorrow, I am going to try to refer to you all as "wonderful students.". Your post is clean and clear.
