Welcome students! Today, I am going to teach you about the difference of three key terms. These terms are evidence, summarize, paraphrase, and quote. Evidence is text you will find in a reliable source that will help to answer your focus question. You summarize evidence when it is a long selection of text, such as multiple sentences or an entire paragraph. To summarize you retell the main ideas of the text using fewer words. You quote evidence when it is a short and very specific section of text that you need to copy exactly to keep its meaning. To use a quote you copy the text exactly as it appears and put quotation marks around it. You paraphrase evidence when it is a short ans simple selection of text that you easily put in your words. To paraphrase you retell the ideas using your own words. To help you remember this, you should study every night and even come up with a study guide to remember.
From your post I learned that, Evidence can also be a reliable source to help answer the focus question. Great job on your blog post. Keep up your great work and remember YOU HAVE COMPETETION!!!
