Intro to Effective writing

In four is not enough my ability to write effectively is made clear through my paraphrasing of the original article. The assignment itself was to read and then paraphrase about an extensive news article without plagiarizing it or summarizing it. I effectively did this by simply slightly rewording the article I read and by citing the sources of the article. For many people it is easy to be confused by the difference of summarization and paraphrasing. I found that the main difference is that in paraphrasing you tend to take sentences word for word from an article and slightly adjust them so that you can coincide the statistics with some of your personal understanding of the facts or statements that had been presented to you. At first I found it to be confusing with the similarities of the two but after much rereading of the differences I managed to make do. The only good example I can provide of my paraphrasing is the reading of four is not enough. I hope all readers can see the expertise I put into my paraphrasing of the facts that had been presented to me.
