User:Sphilbrick/Fixing close paraphrasing

Some will argue that there are only so many ways to say something, but try this:
 * 1) Read the entire source text.
 * 2) Think about what it means. Internalize it. Try to understand what the author is saying.
 * 3) Put away the source text. Don't look at it (at least for a few minutes). Using your own understanding, summarize or describe what the author is saying in your own words.
 * 4) Check back to make sure you capture the sense of the original source, but your writing should use different words, sentence structure, organization, etc. It should be your own work.
