HUMN_6000_W04_Template.docx 1 Paraphrasing Main Points – Instructions Your first task for this Assignment is to determine what two main points stand out from the peer-reviewed article you read. What Is a Main Point? A main point: · Involves original research or conclusions by the authors of the article · Expresses the results of the study that was conducted · Answers the question, “What is the article about?” What Is Not Considered a Main Point? A main point is not: · The research question itself · An excerpt from the Literature Review or Background sections · A specific detail about the study’s methods Where Are the Main Points Located? The main points can usually be found in the Results/Findings and Discussion sections of an article rather than the preliminary sections. The Results/Findings and Discussion sections convey the outcome of the study and what conclusions the authors drew from the study. The research problem and purpose (sometimes included in a Problem Statement section) also reveal important information about the study. Tip: If existing citations show up in the material you are quoting, you have chosen information from other authors rather than your article’s authors. Instead, select quotes that are more representative of the article you read. Paraphrasing – Template Type directly into the sections below, save the document, and submit the document as your Assignment. APA Reference for Your Article Include an APA-formatted reference for your selected article in this spot. Main Point 1 Copy and paste the first main point here. The main point should be at least 3–4 sentences so you have enough material to develop your paraphrase. Be sure to enclose the passage in quotation marks to indicate that these words are not your own. Paraphrase 1 Write your paraphrase of Main Point 1 here. Follow the strategies and review the examples in the Learning Resources to ensure you do not accidentally plagiarize. It can be helpful to write a paraphrase that is slightly shorter than the original material; that way, you do not end up keeping the same sentence structure. Remember that you need to use both your own words and your own sentence structure when restating the idea. Include APA citations in your paraphrase. Main Point 2 Copy and paste the second main point here. The main point should be at least 3–4 sentences so you have enough material to develop your paraphrase. Be sure to enclose the passage in quotation marks to indicate that these words are not your own. Paraphrase 2 Write your paraphrase of Main Point 2 here. Follow the strategies and review the examples in the Learning Resources to ensure you do not accidentally plagiarize. It can be helpful to write a paraphrase that is slightly shorter than the original material; that way, you do not end up keeping the same sentence structure. Remember that you need to use both your own words and your own sentence structure when restating the idea. Include APA citations in your paraphrase. Explanation In this section, explain why you selected the paragraphs as main points. How do these paragraphs represent important information from the article? Also describe your process of paraphrasing. How did you avoid accidental plagiarism? humn6000.docx Week 2: Paraphrasing Each research article you read contains key takeaways or main points that speak to the study’s findings or conclusions. Paraphrasing is a means to effectively use that research-based evidence without directly quoting. Because it is in your own words, the evidence can be more seamlessly integrated with the surrounding material, such as your own ideas and analysis. This Assignment isolates the skill of paraphrasing so that you may give it significant attention. You paraphrase those main points using your own words and sentence structure. Plagiarism can be a concern if the paraphrase is too similar to the original, so be sure to compare your version to the original text as part of your process.
