The document discusses paraphrasing and provides guidance on how to properly paraphrase sources. It defines paraphrasing as taking information, ideas, or concepts from other sources and expressing them in your own words. The document notes that paraphrasing is more than just changing a few words - it requires understanding the source material and conveying the ideas or information using different wording, phrasing, and sentence structure. Tips are provided for how to paraphrase, including reading to understand sources, having a wide vocabulary, being able to reorder and restructure sentences, and practicing paraphrasing exercises.
Paraphrasing is a restatement of the meaning of a text using other words (instead of original words) Summarizing means taking the main ideas from a text and rewriting them in your own words in a brief manner.

BRIDGET’S POST:
In listening to the lectures and reading over Writing Contexts in The Little Seagull Handbook, one of the things that struck me is the idea of critical thinking and how it relates to critical reading. I've always thought of myself as a critical thinker. I enjoying trying to understand why people do the things they do or why things happen the way they do, but I realize now that I can apply critical thinking to the things I read as well as what I write. I have been out of school for over 20 years and training myself to be a student again is going to be a struggle, but hopefully I can apply my own critical thinking skills to other areas like writing and reading as well. I want to be able to ask myself if there is a deeper meaning in what an author wrote or how a character reacts? I also want to try and write in a way that is more than just superficial and at-face-value.
DILLON’S POST:
Module 1 has covered the basics of effectively writing and organizing parts of what you read and also covering the basics of plagiarism. I feel that critical reading is a very important stepping stone to apply what you have learned onto paper. It should involve you getting a deep understanding of what the writers main purpose is. You should do so by taking notes, highlighting important topics, thoroughly analyzing the writers thoughts, and considering reference works.
Ive also learned that is is important to prepare for what you are going to write. It should start with brainstorming and getting an abundance of important ideas that fit the target topic. After getting ideas you should break down these ideas into different sections to effectively apply them into well worded paragraphs. I find it is also important to go over what you have wrote multiple times by proof reading and fixing any spelling or grammatical errors that you can find.
Although I have learned much in this module, I have a very long way to go to become a good writer. This subject is something I have always struggled with, but I hope this course will better my knowledge and capabilities.
LIFE & LITERACY - comment on the posts of two classmates
HAILEY’S POST:
Literacy holds a special place in everyone’s life, whether they believe it or not. From the fairytales and bed-time stories, my father would read to me every night to the poetry we write and share now. For me, writing is a way of facing my fears as well as expressing the emotions I could not say aloud while being able to accept the grievances and losses I have overcome. In school, we explored many different genres and time periods in which we compared authors, poets, and even playwrights with one another, seeking their true meanings behind each line or phrase. We would analyze the author’s every thought from sentence to sentence, sometimes even word to word within a sentence. When it co.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

67. Once you have completed these exercises you are on the way to be being
able to paraphrase, although you still need to keep practicing.
There are many ways to practice paraphrasing. You could:
• take sentences, paragraphs or short sections from a textbook and
rewrite them in your own words
• look back at some of your own essays or those of your classmates and
rewrite sections of them
• take short extracts from novels, magazines, websites or any other
written material and paraphrase them
Paraphrasing is not an easy skill, but with practice you will become good
at it, and your essay, dissertation and thesis writing will be much better
as a result.
