Paraphrase & Summary Assignment #2 AUDIENCE: This class FORMAT: MLA
documentation and bibliographic entry, word-processed (this should not be longer
than one page in length – ideally) the Assignment Link) For this assignment you
are going to take one of the sources (either an article or something you have
downloaded from the internet) you have gathered for the RESEARCH PROJECT
and complete the following:
• Indicate WHICH paragraph from that source you are going to paraphrase (only
ONE PARAGRAPH) • Paraphrase that ONE paragraph. (Remember: When you
paraphrase, you must understand the text before reproducing the ideas into your
words and style.) • At the end of your paraphrase, you will add the appropriate
parenthetical documentation.
• THEN you are going to take the same article that you used for the paraphrase
assignment, and this time you are going to SUMMARIZE the entire article. Be
sure to include the main idea from the article as well as any necessary details to
support that main idea. Also, make certain you include the parenthetical
documentation.
• Once you complete the paraphrase and summary– at the bottom of the page – you
will include the complete bibliographic entry in MLA fashion for that source. •
FINALLY, you will include a working link to the article at the end of the
bibliographic entry (the Works Cited entry.)
