Explain the difference between a quote, paraphrase and summary.
When quoting, you use the exact wording of a source.
A paraphrase allows you to explain an idea or concept from a source using your own words.
A summary allows you to restate a source’s central argument and main ideas concisely in your own words.
Writers must begin with what others say to provide their own argument with context and purpose. By discussing opposing views, writers also gain credibility by showing they have fully considered all viewpoints.
