Unit 2.6.1 - Paraphrasing and Quotations.

• Paraphrase a text by using various techniques (e.g., substituting words/phrases, changing part of speech/sentence type, reducing clauses to phrases)
• Limit use of quotations
• Avoid dropped quotations by using signal phrases and interpretive comments
• Review correct formatting rules for quotations (e.g. blending quotations into a sentence effectively, ellipsis, brackets, citing the page number)

Part 1 - Group work cont’d: Summaries

Continue working on the group summaries from last class and present their summaries in the class google goc.

Part 2 - Group activity - Let’s try paraphrasing

On a piece of paper, define a term in your field using layman vocabulary. Your definition should be brief and easy to understand.

eg.  Discourse analysis - Studying conversations between people. Focus is given to word choice, pronunciation, conversation strategies (such as pauses & taking turns), and why these tools were chosen by the speaker.

When finished pass the paper to another student.  Read the previous definition and rewrite it in your own words. Fold the paper so only your definition/paraphrase can be read by the next next.
