Quickly review the passage to get a sense of the whole, and then go through the passage carefully, sentence by sentence. 2. State the ideas in your own words, defining words as needed. 3. If necessary, edit for clarity, but don't change the meaning. 4. If you borrow phrases directly, put them in quotation marks. 5. Check your paraphrase against the original for accurate tone and meaning. End of Presentation
