partner or in a small group. Go over the 
answers with the class.
• Read the directions for Practice 7. Have 
students write in class or at home. Collect 
the papers and check that the paraphrases 
(a) include proper citation and (b) are 
suffi ciently different from the original 
passage. 
Variation: 
If additional scaffolding is 
needed for Practice 7, have students take 
notes and outline the passage (as described 
on page 61) in class. Then have them write 
their paraphrases at home.
EXTENSION:
Have students write their own paraphrases 
using the notes and outline on page 61.
Using Paraphrases as Support 
(page 64)
• Read the introduction aloud, or have 
students read it. Have students read the 
original passage and student paraphrase 
alone. 
• Read the instructions for the Try It Out! 
activity. Provide scaffolding for the activity 
as needed. For example, have students 
write their topic sentences (step 1) in class. 
Select two or three strong examples and 
have the writers put them on the board. 
For step 2, have students take notes and 
outline the passage in class and then 
have them compare the contents of their 
outlines. For step 3, hold a brief discussion 
in which students share their own views 
and experiences. Finally, have students 
write their paraphrases at home. Collect the 
papers and check them for proper citation 
form and accuracy of the paraphrase. 
SUMMARIZING 
(pages 66–69)
• Read the introduction aloud, or have 
students read it. Conduct a brief discussion 
with the class on the use of summaries 
in their fi elds of study. (Nearly every 
academic discipline makes use of 
summaries. Plot summaries in literature 
classes and reports of science discoveries 
are just two examples.)
