Reflection on Paraphrase practice

From what we've done today, I have learned the process of paraphrasing is like a more detailed summary of text. You take the information given to you by a source and restate in a way that doesn't use the exact words or phrases. You can leave parts of the source out and can add your own ideas into the paragraph as long as you credit the source at the end of the paraphrase. A quote on the other hand is used when you're describing a topic and you use the specific words or phrases from a source in quotation marks, and give credit to the author. You use a quote as evidence to support the claim you're making in your writing.
