Using Other Writers' Ideas and Words

On Monday and Tuesday, we worked on how to quote/paraphrase/summarize and how to use in-text citations to help us avoid plagiarism when using other writers’ ideas and words. Everyone received handouts on Monday and Tuesday, which include directions on how to quote/paraphrase/summarize and examples of in-text citations. These handouts should be used to complete this blog assignment.

DIRECTIONS:

Include 3 examples of how you are using other writers’ ideas in your persuasive writing essay.  The ideas can be quoted, paraphrased, or summarized. Remember to use in-text citations correctly.

  2. When I used my research and put it into my writing piece I paraphrased my research, used my own words and put it in my piece. The oppisite of paraphrase is plagarising. I changed plenty of word that I changed out of my research into my piece.

  7. Summarizing:

    Fortunately, the United Nations are paying more attention to celebrity drug abuse. This report is due to publicized stars being caught with drugs. Two popular British personalities have avoided prison. These courts are sending the wrong message to our youth. (Ghodse)

    Paraphrasing:

    A writer and former elementary school teacher, Carol Gioia, in an article; “Why Some Jobs Require a Higher Standard of Personal Behavior” says that famous people and how they act, are all the rage. She believes that young people imitate their style of clothes and their incorrect ways of talking.(Gioia 2)

    Quote:

    An out of country newspaper, wrote an article in 2007 about Paris Hilton, that assists me in making the point that celebrities should be held to a higher standard, both morally and ethically. “My problem with this is there are so many from the younger generation who see her, Lindsay, Brittany, and others as their role models. We cannot diminish the fact that Paris drove drunk and violated her probation rules…” (The New Zealand Herald, 2007)

    I;ve missed everybody.
