Conduct A Research

Worksheet Description

This paraphrasing worksheet is designed as a tool for students engaged in research, to help them assimilate and rephrase the information they gather from various sources. It provides a structured format for noting down the type of text, its publication date, and the author’s name. The core activity of the worksheet is to paraphrase three significant points from the author’s work, which trains students to distill complex information into their own words without losing the original meaning or adding their own interpretation.

The worksheet teaches students a systematic approach to processing and documenting research materials. By focusing on paraphrasing, it reinforces the importance of understanding and accurately conveying another author’s ideas. This exercise helps to prevent plagiarism by encouraging original expression, even when dealing with source material. It also improves students’ note-taking abilities, ensuring they capture the essence of the research in a concise manner that will be useful for their studies or writing projects.
