Question

ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS An open notebook with a pen laying on it. In this team discussion, you will practice your paraphrasing skills. These skills, which are essential for students and writers, will help you to more easily incorporate information and evidence from sources into your writing. Step 1: Identify a short passage from a source that you want to paraphrase. For example, you could select a passage from one of your textbooks, a passage from a source in the library, or even part of the module notes in this course. Your passage should be at least 3-4 sentences long but no longer than a few paragraphs. Step 2: Read the passage slowly and carefully, answering the following questions in your own words. (Don't try to paraphrase the passage yet. At this point simply answer the questions below.) What do you see as the most important idea of the passage as a whole? Try to write this in your own words using just 1-2 sentences. What other ideas, information, or evidence did the passage use to support the main idea? Make a list. Step 3: Put the passage away so that you are not looking at it. Now, using only your memory and your notes from Step 2, re-write the passage in your own words. Don't try to re-create the passage word-for-word. Instead, try to capture the same ideas using your own words. Step 4: Look at your paraphrase side by side with the original passage. Make sure it doesn't match the original passage with only a few words changed. This may be unavoidable for a few key words or phrases, but it should not be true for the paraphrase as a whole. If it is too close to the original passage, return to Step 3 and try again. Step 5: In your initial discussion post, submit your original passage, the notes you created in Step 2, and the final paraphrase you created in Step 3. In addition, write approximately 100 words describing what you learned from this process. Was the process helpful for you? If so, why? If not, why not Your Initial Post By Thursday of Module 5, create an initial post of at least 250 words that responds to each of the prompts below: Do you believe the true purpose of higher education is utopian or utilitarian in the United States? Why? Do you believe colleges and universities have a responsibility to teach general education competencies like global understanding, cultural diversity, and expression? Why or why not? Choose one other country to examine. How does the United States' higher education system differ from this other country in its priorities, values, or end goals for students? Do you think each system prepares students adequately for a globally interconnected society and workforce? As part of your response, use and cite at least one appropriate outside source* that speaks to higher education in another country. Need to do in 250 words apa style, focus on all the steps, specially step 3
