Paraphrase, our word of the week, is also a high-level learning strategy. Our goal is to help our students understand the text and/or content well enough to put the writer’s words into their own words — an indication that the student has a solid understanding of the text. The skill of paraphrasing is practiced extensively — and one that helps students do well in secondary education.
The official definition: put the author’s words in your own words, make it easier to understand
