DEFINITIONS
A quote: an exact reproduction of a portion of a text, usually using quotation marks and giving credit to the original author(s) in a prescribed documentation style.
A paraphrase: a representation of a portion of a text that retains the meaning of the original text, changes the form of the original text (key words and sentence structure), and gives credit to the original author(s) in a prescribed documentation style.

EXAMPLES:
“Because the whether we globalize groups tend to be more noisy and violent, they have increasingly drowned out the how we globalize groups” (Friedman 611).
A former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Director-General of the World Trade Organization, Mike Moore, asserts, “There will be no lasting peace unless there is peace and co-existence between religions” (615).
“So, it’s catastrophic for muddle-minded liberals to join in and cudgel impoverished workers for whom a sweatshop job is the first step on life’s escalator” (Kristof 626).

METHODS OF PARAPHRASING
Read the text that you want to paraphrase; set it aside, and then write the text in your own words.
Take notes from the text, and then set aside; write your paraphrase later (next day?).
Change the key words of the text, using synonyms, and then change the structure (or vice versa).
