2. Paraphrasing Tips

• To paraphrase long passages, it is better to take notes and outline the passage. Write your paraphrase from your notes, without looking at the original passage.
  
  
• Change the words, not the meaning
  
  
• Use a good dictionary to find synonyms and to check their usage and context.
  
  
• Do not change the tone.
  
  
• Do not add information
  
  
• Do not leave anything out.
  
  
• Check your paraphrase with the original. Be sure you have not unintentionally used the same words or phrases.
  
  
• Try to sound like "you."
  
  
• Include all the citation information when you are taking notes.
