PARAPHRASINGSummary of a Shorter Passage
Paraphrasing Highlight (or underline) all of the places in Essay #1
that you summarize “Brainology” Make sure you use a signal phrase
A signal phrase is introducing the text and author— First paraphrase: According to Carol Dweck in her essay
“Brainology,” a growth mindset is … The rest of the paraphrases: Dweck shows how a fixed mindset… Use the templates from pages 39-40 of They Say/I Say
Make sure you have a citation A citation tells your readers where your information comes
from Your citation should look like this (Dweck 3). If you use the author’s name to introduce the paraphrase, your
citation should look like this (3). Make sure you sandwich your paraphrase with your
ideas!
PREPARE FOR AND FOLLOW UP ON A PARAPHRASE
To integrate a paraphrase properly within a paragraph, a good writer usually has
(1) At least one sentence to introduce the paraphrase,
(2) the paraphrase itself, and(3) at least one sentence to comment on
the paraphrase.
Top piece of bread: at least one sentence to introduce the paraphrase
Meat: paraphrase with proper documentation
Bottom piece of bread: at least one sentence to explain, comment on, or provide an example of the paraphrase (usually the majority of the paragraph)
S-E-E PARAGRAPHS
S for Statement
Begin with a topic sentence that gives the reader a sense of what the single main idea of the paragraph will be. This sentence should be one of the “supporting reasons” for your thesis statement. It should have opinion!
E for Evidence
This is the part of your paragraph where you support your topic sentence by including a specific point taken from the “proof text” (the essay, article, book, everyday life, etc. you are writing about or analyzing). The evidence is a paraphrase or quotation.
E for ExplanationYou want to explain your topic sentence and its connection to the evidence. You want to include your analysis here. Why did you include the quotation or paraphrase? What do you want to say about it? You should include specific examples to illustrate your points (these examples should come from you, not the source), but be sure to show how your examples connect to your statement (topic sentence). This section should comprise the majority of the paragraph.
Paraphrase Example
Statement:I used to believe that if a particular subject was difficult for me that I was just not gifted with intelligence in that area; now that I am moving toward a growth mindset, I understand that my knowledge in anything is dependent on the amount of effort I put into learning.
Paraphrase Example
Evidence:According to Carol Dweck in “Brainology,” students with a fixed mindset believe that people are naturally smart in certain subjects whereas those with a growth mindset understand that they are capable of understanding anything with the right amount of effort (4).
Paraphrase ExampleExplanation:I tell people that I am bad at math, but I am working on changing that attitude to a more realistic self-view. I earned average grades in my high school math classes, but the concepts did not come easily to me. In my college algebra class, I watched as other students breezed through tests and quizzes and I felt like I was struggling to pass. Instead of realizing that I needed to put more work into the class, I put the responsibility on others. I decided the teacher was boring. I imagined that the other students just understood the material right away. I began to miss class and skip assignments. Of course, my actions resulted in a failing grade. At the time, I was quick to shift the blame to other people and circumstances, but the truth was that I was making excuses rather than trying because I did not want to try and fail. Doing so would affirm my biggest fear: I was dumb. I have come to realize that I truly earned the F, not because of my lack of natural math skills, but because of my own lack of effort.
