LESSON 1: Thesis Statement and Forms of Discourse
Learning Objectives:
1. Determine the different forms of discourse
2. Classify examples of forms of discourse
Answer the following questions.
1. How do people communicate?
2. Why do we need to paraphrase? To summarize?
3. How do you differentiate summarizing from paraphrasing?
Discussion:
Thesis Statements
Every composition has controlling ideas in the form of a declarative sentence. Such an idea is called the
thesis statement. More often than not, a thesis statement is conceptualized and written before a discourse is spoken
or written.
Discourse
Defined in linguistic as “any stretch of language larger than a sentence, whether spoken or written, having
a logically consistent and unified structure (e.g. a book, a glossary entry, a lecture, or a speech).
Discourse can be:



Written or verbal exchange
Conversation between two or more people
Discussion with others
Forms of Discourse
1. Exposition- a form of discourse that serves to explain or inform; it appeals to the intellect
Example:
A research paper on the causes and effects of global warming; an article on child and labor abuse
2. Description- a form of discourse that serves to describe or state the qualities or characteristics of
something/someone; it appeals to the senses
Examples:
A student’s description of his ideal teacher; a writer’s description of a locale he has recently visited; a descriptive
article on a festive celebration of town’s patron saint
3. Narration- a form of discourse that serves to narrate or tell a story; it appeals to the emotion
Examples:
A narrative account of a student’s near-death experience; a fictive story about an encounter with a supernatural
being
4. Argumentation- a form of discourse that serves to argue or to persuade and/or take an action
Examples:
an essay expounding on the retention or cancellation of the visiting agreement; a commercial advertisement,
endorsing a student’s manufactured product

LESSON 2: Paraphrasing, Summarizing and
Plagiarism
Learning Objectives:
1. Summarize and paraphrase a variety of academic text
2. Distinguish between paraphrasing and summarizing and use them
appropriately in the paper
Academic Writing Skills: Paraphrasing and Summarizing
Most written activities in secondary schools involve summarizing and paraphrasing. Therefore, it is
imperative on the part of the students to develop these two writing skills. Summarizing s writing a condensed or
shorter version of the original material; it is simply putting together all the important ideas contained in the original
material. On the other hand, paraphrasing is writing a “new” version of the original material; it is restating all ideas
contained in the original material such that the original and the paraphrased material are substantially similar but
structurally different.
What’s the difference between paraphrasing and summarizing?
Paraphrasing
Summarizing
is a similar length to the original
is shorter than the original
has the same meaning as the original
is an overview of the main ideas
includes examples and details
does not include examples
is usually used to provide evidence or support an
argument
is usually used as background information
uses an in-text reference/footnote with page
numbers
uses an in-text reference/footnote without page
numbers
Why do I need to paraphrase or summarize?



to show that you can understand and analyze information from a source
to avoid plagiarising information
to integrate evidence into your writing
PARAPHRASING
How do I paraphrase?
It takes practice to paraphrase well. It is a skill that you need to develop. Following these steps may help:
•
Read the original text.
•
Highlight or write notes of the key ideas/facts in your own words.
•
Re-read the original to ensure your notes are correct.
•
Write in complete sentences to integrate the paraphrase into your writing.
•
Change the order of ideas.
•
Change the sentence structure and grammar.
•
Change phrases rather than single words.
•
Check that you have included a suitable in-text reference and noted the details for inclusion in your
reference list.
When you paraphrase, you use your own words to express something that was written or said by another
person. Putting it into your own words can clarify the message, make it more relevant to your audience, or give
it greater impact. You might use paraphrased material to support your argument or viewpoint. Or, if you're
putting together a report , presentation or speech, you can use paraphrasing to maintain a consistent style, and
to avoid lengthy quotations from the original text or conversation.
Paraphrased material should keep its original meaning and (approximate) length, but you can use it to pick
out a single point from a longer discussion.
Paraphrasing: an Example
Original
Despite the undoubted fact that everyone's vision of what constitutes success is different, one should spend one's
time establishing and finalizing one's personal vision of it. Otherwise, how can you possibly understand what your
final destination might be, or whether or not your decisions are assisting you in moving in the direction of the goals
which you've set yourself?
The two kinds of statement – mission and vision – can be invaluable to your approach, aiding you, as they do, in
focusing on your primary goal, and quickly identifying possibilities that you might wish to exploit and explore.
Paraphrase
We all have different ideas about success. What's important is that you spend time defining your version of
success. That way, you'll understand what you should be working toward. You'll also know if your decisions are
helping you to move toward your goals.
Used as part of your personal approach to goal-setting, mission and vision statements are useful for bringing sharp
focus to your most important goal, and for helping you to quickly identify which opportunities you should pursue.
SUMMARIZING
How do I summarize?
Following a similar process as paraphrasing may assist you in summarizing well.
•
Read the original text and understand the main ideas.
•
Write down the key points in your own words.
•
Re-read the original to ensure your notes are correct.
•
Write these points in your own words.
•
Check that you have included a suitable in-text reference (without page number) and noted the details for
inclusion in your reference list.
In contrast, a summary is a brief overview of an entire discussion or argument. You might summarize a
whole research paper or conversation in a single paragraph, for example, or with a series of bullet points, using
your own words and style. People often summarize when the original material is long, or to emphasize key
facts or points. Summaries leave out detail or examples that may distract the reader from the most important
information, and they simplify complex arguments, grammar and vocabulary.
Used correctly, summarizing and paraphrasing can save time, increase understanding, and give authority
and credibility to your work. Both tools are useful when the precise wording of the original communication is
less important than its overall meaning.
Summarizing: an Example
Original
So how do you go about identifying your strengths and weaknesses, and analyzing the opportunities and threats that
flow from them? SWOT Analysis is a useful technique that helps you to do this.
What makes SWOT especially powerful is that, with a little thought, it can help you to uncover opportunities that
you would not otherwise have spotted. And by understanding your weaknesses, you can manage and eliminate
threats that might otherwise hurt your ability to move forward in your role.
If you look at yourself using the SWOT framework, you can start to separate yourself from your peers, and further
develop the specialized talents and abilities that you need in order to advance your career and to help you achieve
your personal goals.
Summary
SWOT Analysis is a technique that helps you identify strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats.
Understanding and managing these factors helps you to develop the abilities you need to achieve your goals and
progress in your career.
PLAGIARISM
Task 3
Directions: Identify the words that are being used in different texts from various disciplines in the
box below.
Plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves stealing someone else’s work and
considered a serious ethical offense.
a. Word-for- word (Verbatim) Plagiarism- This is also known as cut-and-paste plagiarism. This happens
when a researcher copies the work of another writer word-for-word or verbatim and claims it as his or her own.
b. Word order Plagiarism- This happens when a writer changes some of the words of another author to
make the work look as if it were his or her own.
c. Idea Plagiarism- This happens when a writer paraphrases a work and includes it in his or her article
without proper attribution. Thus, it is important to cite the sources of all the borrowed ideas found in a paper.

Research is an important part of many assessment
types. When gathering research material you must
be able to evaluate it for relevance to your topic and
your focus. You will need to analyze the material
for its facts, arguments, and opinions; select
material that is directly applicable to your research;
and record the publication details so that you can
acknowledge your sources and include them in your
reference list (SACE Board of SA 2009, p. 1).
Evaluation, analysis, selection, and acknowledgment of
sources are all skills that are needed in research, which
is included in many different assessment types (SACE
Board of SA 2009).
