Section 1: Assignment
Question
You are required to write two examples of each of the following using the text in the article provided (see assessor guidance section below to download the article).
• Paraphrase
• Quotation
You must ensure that the meaning of the original text is conveyed/summarised when paraphrasing. Quotation examples must be presented in the appropriate manner.
You should also remember to include citation(s) with each of your examples and a references list at the end of your work.
Guidance
You do not need to rewrite the entire article; just provide two examples using each of the two techniques.
Each of your examples should be 2 to 3 sentences long.
You should also include the original text that you are using for each of your examples and format your work as follows:
PARAPHRASE EXAMPLE 1
Original text…
Your example…
You then need to change the heading so that it corresponds to each of your examples.
Refer to your study materials if you need further guidance about the use of paraphrase and quotation.
