Summarizing
Put the main ideas into your own words
Include only the main points
Give credit to the author
Usually focuses on one main idea
Gives reader a clear, easy to understand paragraph of the important facts
Usually 1 paragraph
![Page 15: What is Plagiarism? How can we avoid Plagiarizing?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649db25503460f94aa26c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Let’s Try Summarizing
There are several ways to include quotations in your essay. Often a short quotation works well when integrated into a sentence. Longer quotations can stand alone.
Remember that you should use quotations sparingly. Ask yourself, “Can I summarize or paraphrase the information? Do I need to include a direct quotation?”
When you quote, you need to give the author credit. If you do not give the author credit, you are stealing the author’s work – you are plagiarizing.
![Page 16: What is Plagiarism? How can we avoid Plagiarizing?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649db25503460f94aa26c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Paraphrasing
More detailed than a summary
Use your own words to describe what the author is saying
Give credit to the author
Helps control quoting too much
Use fewer words to explain details of the article

Let’s Try ParaphrasingRuth Reichl called today, sounding tired and sad.
On Monday, her bosses at Condé Nast told her they were shutting down Gourmet, the magazine she captained for the last ten years. She was completely surprised.
“We had shot for a year out,” she said. “It just breaks my heart. January, February and March were going to be great issues.”
So she told her staff. She started packing. And last night they held a wake at her apartment with wine and liquor carted away from the office.
You might cry for the magazine and for its staff, which includes some of the most experienced recipe testers, editors and writers in the business. But don’t cry for her.
“I’m just sad but when I’m done being sad I’ll be working on my next book,” she said.

Original Paragraph
Technology has significantly transformed education at several points in history. The first technology was the simple modes of communication used by prehistoric people before the development of spoken language. Mime, gestures, grunts, and drawing of figures in the sand with a stick were methods used to communicate - yes, even to educate. Even without speech, these prehistoric people were able to teach their young how to catch animals for food, what animals to avoid, which vegetation was good to eat and which was poisonous.

Which is Plagiarized?
Technology has dramatically changed education throughout history. At first technology was simple communication means used by people before verbal language. Some of the first technology used to communicate and educate included mimes, hand gestures, and drawings in the earth. Although prehistoric people did not use verbal language to talk, they still taught children how to hunt, what animals were bad, and what plants were good vs. poisonous (Frick, 1991).

History has demonstrated that technology affects education profoundly. Considering the definition of technology broadly, one may say that prehistoric people used primitive technologies to teach skills to their young.
