 hello everyone this is mr. P on today's lesson we're going to look at summarizing and paraphrasing so on this lesson we're going to answer these questions what is summarizing what is paraphrasing we're going to give examples of both and i'm going to teach you how to write a good paraphrase so let's get started so first up what is summarizing when you summarize you state the major ideas of an entire source or part of a source in a paragraph or sentence the key here is to write the summary using your own words and this is very important using your own words if you use the words from the source you have to put those words within quotation marks example Marcel Danezzi argues in forever young that having the financial capability and leisure time to spoil and pamper oneself leads many adults to sculpt and maintain an ageless look so that's plagiarism and so that's plagiarized most of the words are lifted directly from the original so this would be an acceptable summary Marcel Danezzi argues in forever young that due to rising incomes many adults now have the means to buy themselves the image of a young person this is a good one the summary is written using your own words what is paraphrasing well it is to present your idea of a source you will be using in your writing using your own words faintly and Rubens in writing a journey argued that when you paraphrase you still need to include the reference to the source just like that page 526 so let's look at an example Marcel Danezzi argues that Nazism used to be the exclusive privilege of rich people but now people everywhere can afford an ageless look yet people risk falling in love with their own image that's on page 31 let's plagiarized why this is the answer even though the source is listed this paraphrase is unacceptable too many of the words in the original are used directly here including much of the entire sentences so other points to talk about this example when a string of words is lifted from a source and inserted without quotation marks the passage is plagiarized like this example changing a few words in a sentence is not a pattern phrase as you can see there the yellow ones are the ones taken from the original so it's plagiarized let's take a look at another example fashion models are contemporary icons of beauty horse of people aspire to look and dress exactly like them fashion shows are part of the everyday scene this is Danezzi on page 39 fashion models are modern symbols of beauty many people aspire to look and dress similar to them fashion shows are part of the regular scene well this is unacceptable why the paraphrase takes the structure of the original and substitutes a few words it is too similar to the original one so what is a good paraphrase number one it represents an entire rewriting of the idea from the source number two the sentences must be original in structure and wording number three it should begin by introducing the author and conclude with a page reference to the material paraphrased so let's take a look at a good example of a paraphrase Marcel Danezzi argues that fashion models are yet another example of our current society's narcissistic and insatiable desire for youth and beauty he believes that many people aspire to look and act like models and the fashion shows provide a voyeuristic opportunity to emulate these icons of beauty on page 39 even though there are few words from the originals such as aspire and icons of beauty these sentences are original in structure and wording while accurately conveying the meaning of the source so now is your turn try and paraphrase the following passage giraffes like acacia leaves and hay and they can consume 75 pounds of food a day so pause the video i'll give you five minutes and then we'll share with the class now that you have finished subscribe to my channel if you haven't hit on the like button and share with your friends until next time bye bye
