The Introductory Paragraph
Great! I’m impressed with your The Thesis Statement
understanding of our previous lesson. The Body Paragraph and the last one is
The Conclusion
f. Motivation
Before we go on, let’s have an
activity first. I am going to present a
video, then you will observe what the
video is all about.
(the teacher will play a video that
pertains to plagiarism)
 Based on the video you have watched,
what is it all about?

“Is it okay for a singer to use the lyrics
from another singer's song and sell the
song as if it is their own?”
“Wow! What a Brilliant answer.”
(the students will give their thoughts about the
video)
(the students will give their own opinions)

Can a musician use some of the lyrics

from another song? How much is okay? (the students will give their own opinions)

Very nice!
(the students will give their own opinions)
What if the musician clearly refers to the
original artist while using the words, like
a tribute; is that okay?
(the students will give their own opinions)
That’s great!

A. Development Activities
1. Presentation
Okay, may I know what “cheats” or
“cheating” means for you?

Can you give an example of cheating? (the students will give their own opinions)
Any idea?

Exactly! One of the most common forms “Sir, Plagiarism.”

of cheating is Plagiarism.

May I know your thoughts about

Plagiarism?

And from the video that you have (the students will give their own idea)
watched what are the ways to avoid
plagiarism?
“Sir, in order to avoid plagiarism we have to use
paraphrasing.”
Absolutely! That’s right.
And for today, we will tackle a lesson that
will save us to commit a mortal sin, which is the
Paraphrasing Techniques.

2. Discussion

So class, do you have any idea about

Paraphrasing?
(the students will give their own idea)
It means rewriting the same information in a
different way. It helps you better to integrate the
Very nice! ideas into the particular piece you are writing
To explore your understanding about
paraphrasing, let’s hear it with the
definition
-Paraphrasing is commonly confused
with summarizing and vice versa. When a writer
paraphrase, his main goal is to keep all the
information integral in a comprehensive manner.

There are Common Types of

Paraphrasing which are the following:
(the students will listen attentively)
By Changing of Parts of Speech
In this type of paraphrasing, the nouns,
verbs, adjectives, and adverbs interchange

Original Sentence: The student quickly submitted

the quiz paper as the Math teacher said that time
is up
Paraphrased: The quick student passed his quiz
paper when the teacher in Math said that time is
up

By Changing of Structure
Changing sentence structure from passive
voice to active voice is the main tool in this type
of paraphrasing. Also this type reflects the
writer’s interpretation of the original text.

Original Sentence:
Many people were inspired by the sacrifices and
dedication of the frontliners.
Paraphrased:
The front liners sacrifices and dedication inspired
many people.

By Synonym Replacement
Paraphrasing by Synonym replacement is
one of the simplest forms in restating an original
text.

Original Sentence:
The older citizens were more vulnerable to the
COVID19 disease.
Paraphrase:
Senior citizens were more at risk of the COVID19
disease.

3. Application
The teacher will give statements that will
be paraphrased by the students.
Directions: Read and paraphrase the following
statements.
1. “The price of a resort vacation typically
includes meals, tips and equipment
rentals, which makes your trip more cost-
effective.
2. “Uploading a YouTube video can help
your business be exposed even further to
the online.”
3. “Flu symptoms include nasal congestion
and fever.”
4. “Her life spanned years of incredible
change for women as they gained more
rights than ever before.”
5. “Giraffes like Acacia leaves and hay, and
they can consume 75 pounds of food a
4. Generalization day.”

Okay, class from our discussion what is

Paraphrasing?
Paraphrasing is commonly confused with

And what are the three common types of
paraphrasing?
5. Valuing
Why is it important for us to learn how to
paraphrase?
6. Evaluation
The teacher will give an original passage
of statements that has two paraphrased statements
and the student will choose the best-paraphrased
answers.
“This activity will give you some practice
with paraphrasing, which is an important but
sometimes tricky part of integrating your sources
into your writing.”
summarizing and vice versa. When a writer
paraphrase, his main goal is to keep all the
information integral in a comprehensive manner.
Sir, those are:
By Changing of Parts of Speech
By Changing of Structure
By Synonym Replacement
Directions: Read carefully and choose the best
paraphrase for the original passage.
1. Original passage:
“Death rates for males are substantially
higher than for females for every age group of
children and youth, but the largest difference
occurs among teens, ages 15 to 19”.
Death rates for males are much higher
than for females for all age groups of children and
youth, but the largest difference occurs among
teens, ages 15 to 19.
A recent study found that death rates for
male children and teens are higher than those for
females in all age groups, but the most significant
difference between death rates for male and
female children occurs between the ages of 15 and
19.
2. Original passage:
"In the more than a century and a half of
their existence, Washington Irving's two most
famous stories, 'Rip Van Winkle' and 'The Legend
of Sleepy Hollow,' have taken on a life of their
own. They have been read, listened to, and, from
the time of Joseph Jefferson's first staging of
"Rip" to our own age of mass media, watched in
various of productions, by generations of adults
and children alike. Yet relatively few people are
aware that they were once—and, for that matter,
still technically are—part of of an apparently
miscellaneous, but actually quite coherent unified,
collection of sketches, essays, and stories called
The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon".
The famous short stories "Rip Van Winkle"
and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by
Washington Irving are so popular today that they
have been made into books, audio recordings, and
movies. Generations of fans have been able to
enjoy these stories, especially now, thanks to our
age of mass media.
Washington Irving's famous stories "Rip
Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"
are so popular that they have been enjoyed in
 story form and in films by generations. However,
despite the popularity of these stories, most
people do not realize that they were originally
published in and remain a part of a larger
collection of works entitled The Sketch Book of
Geoffrey Crayon.

3. Original passage:
"So dynamic is the Web that new
technologies and techniques are emerging all the
time. What's commonplace one year becomes old
hat the next. The only thing that seems to remain
constant is people's desire to transmit and receive
information efficiently and to communicate with
others, no matter what the means. That's what
drives people to shop, invest, and converse online,
and it is the same force that is propelling them to
learn online as well”.

The Web is so exciting, and new

technologies and techniques are emerging all the
time. What's commonplace one year becomes old
hat the next. The only thing that seems to remain
constant is people's need to transmit information
and to communicate with one another. These
things drive people to shop, invest, and converse
online, and it is this same force that is propelling
them to learn online.
Change for the World Wide Web is
ongoing, with innovation constantly changing and
shaping the experiences people have online. The
one stability among all this change is that people
want to be able to send and receive information
conveniently and efficiently, and people want to
be able to communicate with each other. These
forces, which drive people to the internet for
shopping, investing, and communicating, also
drive people toward online learning.
7. Assignment/ Agreement

coasters”. Write a Paraphrased version of the
heard /read text about Roller Coasters. Write your
answer on 1 whole sheet of paper.

“That would be all for today. Goodbye

class! See you tomorrow.”
