IN YOUR OWN WORDS, create a new thread and compare and contrast paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting and how to do each successfully.

Such three ways to include the work of other writers in your own writing differ depending on whether you are close to the source.

Explanation:

Quotations must be the same as the original, using a narrow source segment. We must be word for word on the source document and the original author must be credited.

Paraphrasing means putting your own words into a line from the source material. The original source should also be assigned a paraphrase. Paraphrased material usually is shorter than the original one, which takes and slightly condenses a somewhat broader part of the source.

In summary, you have to put the main idea(s), including only the main point(s), in your own words. Again, summarized ideas must be attributed to the source. Summaries are much shorter than the original and give a broad overview of the source documents.
