students use to improve reading comprehension through questioning and paraphrasing.

4. 2 places where to look for the main idea of the paragraph:

b. Must be totally accurate.
c. Must makes sense.

shows your understanding.

2. It is accurate.
3. It does make sense.
4. Yes, it is in my own words.
5. Yes, it does have new information that shows our understanding of the topic?

Assessment:

1. Define Paraphrase.

Paraphrase is saying in your own words the ideas presented in something written or spoken.

2. Explain how the acronym can serve as guide.

R stands for Read the paragraph – which means you have to red first the subject to paraphrase.
A stands for Ask Yourself – find out what the paragraph is all about.
P stands for paraphrase – rewrite the paragraph using your own words while maintaining the
original ideas and thoughts.

3. In what ways can paraphrasing help you ? Again, use your own words in answering the question.

Paraphrasing, for one thing, encourages the learner to think on his own and express
himself/herself. It also helps determine levels of understanding and comprehension of topics
being discussed.
