Paraphrasing, Quoting, and Academic Honesty Workshop

In 200 to 300 words, share a rough draft of one of your paper’s body paragraphs. Your paragraph must include a topic sentence, one direct quote, and one paraphrased passage. Integrate both of these elements into your paragraph using proper APA in-text citations. Below your body paragraph, provide the original text that you are paraphrasing and label it clearly as “Original Source Text.” Include an APA-formatted reference list for the sources noted in the body of your paragraph.

In a separate paragraph,

• Explain how your topic sentence supports your thesis statement.
• Explain how the quoted and paraphrased material supports your claims and/or adds credibility to your writing.
