Writing Homework Help

1. First, in a few sentences, what are the primary differences among summaries, paraphrasing, and quotations? Why is understanding these differences important to you as a student writing a paper?
2. Next, you will find a news article online about a subject that interests you, read it, post the link to the article, and summarize it. What is the article about? What are the main points? What is the author trying to accomplish? All of these are questions that your summary should answer. This portion needs to be 300 or more words. If you’d like, the article you choose to summarize for this discussion board could be something that will help you in your Pro/Con Paper, though it is not required.

Be sure to—if you use information from the text and/or news article you choose—properly cite the source.
