Paraphrasing Paraphrasing means taking a passage from
another writer's work and rewriting it in your own words. Usually, paraphrasing is used to summarize
another writer's arguments or examples.
Rewriting a passage in your own words is more than just rearranging the words into a new order. It means
completely rewriting the passage.
Remember, when you paraphrase, you still need to cite the original author whose ideas you are borrowing.
