Guidelines for paraphrase notes

  • Include all main points and any important details from the original source, in the same order in which the author presents them.
  • State the meaning in your own words and sentence structures (without looking at the original). If you want to include especially memorable language from the original, enclose it in quotation marks. Identify your work as a paraphrase.
  • Save your comments, elaborations, or reactions on another note.
