5. TIPS FOR PARAPHRASING
• Reread the original passage until you understand its full
meaning.
• Change the sentence structure.
• Do not use more than three words of the source material
in a row.
• Use synonyms. A synonym is a word that means
approximately the same thing as another word.
• Use key words from the original. While you need to
paraphrase in your words, you cannot, and need not,
substitute a different word for every word in the original.

Paraphrase:
Sweeney uses her cell phone and computer to check Facebook to
