Quote, Summary, or Paraphrase Paragraph

As we all may not know, it is extremely important to know how to quote people of saying's you have used, to be able to summarize a book, or even paraphrase it. A quote would be needed to give a writer and communicator his or her credit for what they have said. Otherwise it would be considered plagiarism if you didn't. A summary comes important when a friend ask's you about a movie you just saw and what it was about. Some may not have time for a full summary so they can just give you the main ideas of the movie with a paraphrase. This may sound the introduction to my lesson but this is it! It is this simple! To summarize is to restate the story, a paraphrase is the restating of main ideas, and a quote is something said by someone else. Just go over this a couple times and I'm sure you will get the hang of this!

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, we had to find 6 websites that were either at grade level or above grade level based on the information given and the format of the website. To search for these websites I went to "advanced search" on Google. I made sure all the URL's had .org in them and it gave me a really good selection. I found some really good information on these websites. I knew some of the websites I searched up were good because the information on them were very detailed and it gave facts for the most part. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will let me choose any of the sites because they were so good.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is, "How have steroids impacted baseball?". I already know that a handful of major league baseball players have been tested positive for performance enhancing drugs that have been proven to boost their stats while they are on it. I also know these athletes had huge penalties or consequences for using them. On top of that, the people who used them are looked down upon after being found of use. By doing research I hope to learn how this affected Major League Baseball and how did the players respond to being tested positive.
