TOPIC FIVE !

This topic is about Citation & Documenting information sources.


I had learnt about summarizing, paraphrasing and quoting. Summarizing is a thing that you put the main idea into your own words, including only the main point. The word sounded like English subject right. But this is information literacy. Summaries are significantly must be shorter than the original form. For paraphrasing are to involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. Paraphrases are usually shorter than original form, but may be the same length as the original form. For quoting is to use the author’s words exactly. We are also needed to use quotation marks only for short quotations. The different between summarizing, paraphrasing and quoting is quoting must be identical to the original.
