Below are six (6) effective steps along with examples to assist you with understanding how to paraphrase. 6 Steps to Effective Paraphrasing  Reread the original passage until you understand its full meaning.  Set the original aside, and write your paraphrase on a note card.  Jot down a few words below your paraphrase to remind you later how you envision using this material.
