Quote, Summary, or Paraphrase Paragraph

Welcome students! Today, I am going to teach you about things to remember in a research paper. Evidence is certain information to prove that the work you have done is true. For example when a student says that they were sick from school and the doctor excused them they would have to have proof. In order to know it was true they would have to bring me a note signed by a doctor or parent served as evidence that what the student said was true. You summarize evidence when your giving a brief description of something that occurred over a period of time. To summarize you use fewer words to explain something. For example instead of telling the whole story in details and extra sentences you would tell the story in a shorter period of time. You quote evidence when you are trying to strengthen your point of view. To use a quote occurs when something is being said by someone. For example " Ms. Priester told me to right a paragraph" Joel said. You paraphrase evidence when you are retelling a story to an audience. To paraphrase you give a brief description of the events that happened. To help you remember this, you should verbally review the definitions and examples that I have mentioned earlier.
