Let’s Get Started!

Definition
Paraphrasing is the act of restating information in your own words
while maintaining the original words while involves rewording and
rephrasing sentences or passages from a source, ensuring that the
core idea is preserved without copying the exact wording.
This skill is essential for writing, particularly in academic settings, as
it allows you to incorporate information from sources while avoiding
plagiarism. When paraphrasing, it’s important to fully understand the
original material so that you can accurately convey its meaning in a
new form.
