Worksheet Description

This paraphrasing worksheet provides a structured approach for students to practice rewriting text in their own words. The worksheet instructs students to first identify and record the key elements of a text: who, what, where, when, why, and how. These prompts help students focus on the essential information within a passage. After extracting these details, the student is then tasked with writing a paraphrase of the text, ensuring that the rephrased version captures the text’s main points without adding new information.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the fundamental components of paraphrasing, emphasizing the importance of understanding a text’s details before attempting to reword it. By asking who, what, where, when, why, and how, it encourages students to think critically about the text and its message. This process not only aids in comprehension but also helps students develop the ability to condense and articulate information succinctly. The ultimate goal is for students to learn how to convey the same message in a new way, which is a valuable skill for effective communication and writing.
