Class Paraphrasing Activity

Although quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing are all valuable methods of source integration, paraphrasing is likely the strategy you will use most often when writing from sources in academic situations. Because we want to avoid too many quotes in our academic essays, paraphrasing is an essential skill.
