I am doing a research paper. Can somebody tell me when I paraphrase?

My teacher told me to change every 3rd word. Where do I put this in my research paper? Is this where I write the author's name and page number?

I am doing a research paper. Can somebody tell me when I paraphrase?
A paraphrase is just saying what someone else has


said, in your own words.





So read a bit; then imagine you are telling someone


(verbally) about what you just read. Write it down


as you would say it . Then refine it.





You put the reference for the writer you read at the


end of your paraphrase (which is often the end of


a whole paragraph. You do it like this (Jones, 1987, p.6.)





Then you list Jones (and the title of her book or


article) in your page of references, which is at the


end of your whole assignment,

Reply:I think you're confusing paraphrasing, plagiarizing and quoting. If you quote an author, you give the author's name just before or after the quote, or you make a foot note. Changing every third word is more like plagiarizing than it is paraphrasing.
Reply:I am glad that you did not give out your teacher's name and etc, she was helping you hide your plagiarizing tracks. You paraphrase when you are taking the idea from someone else, but you put it in your own words. Or state what they said under your understanding without using the statement that they said. At time it may require you to include a name: "Like the great Roman Leader said,"





Paraphrasing comes at the end of each noted quote from any source. Using ( , ) or otherwise.
Reply:I agree with Pandora, however, the most revised version of MLA states that you do not use a comma between the author's name and page number.
Reply:what you need to do is take the information (reference section)you want to use and rewrite it in your own word. through out your whole paper you list your references on your bibliography page at the end of your report. When you want to use a direct quote you should put the source for example the book or encyclopedia and/or author and page in parenthesis at the end of your quote ask your teacher what type they want you to use
