Part 2 of Assignment: Describe the source in 3 sentences.
Paraphrasing is a key skill for this!
- Putting an author's writing into your own words AND structure with the intention of adding clarity and/or demonstrating understanding.
- Giving credit to an author's idea (e.g., sentence, paragraph, chapter or article)
- Not just rewording. Not just reordering. BOTH + some insight.
Paraphrases should include the following information:
Author, date, page #
(Moss, 2013, p.131)
Author, date
(Moss, 2013)
OR
** Although APA does not require page #s for paraphrases, it is good practice to include page #s when it is possible. Ask your instructors.
"The death of a Christian or group of Christians might be unjust, but it is not persecution as it has traditionally been defined"(Moss,2013,p.162).

Paraphrasing example
"The death of a Christian or group of Christians might be unjust, but it is not persecution as it has traditionally been defined"(Moss,2013,p.162).
Quote:
Moss argues that we have to re-evaluate the standard understanding of the Christian persecution (2013,p.162). While Christians may have been maltreated,this does not mean they were technically persecuted (Moss,2013,p.162).
