Activity 1: Summarize the short essay

The camera is very important nowadays since our generation is

incredibly Tech savvy. It is very useful to those who are find of capturing
special moments.
This object also essential to people who are into photography and
vlogging. In earlier times, people had to draw or paint pictures just to have
a copy. In lots of ways, using a camera like compiling research. Research
serves as a tool for building knowledge and facilitating learning. Without
the camera, ordinary people without artistic inclinations would not be able
to do so.

Activity 2:

Research Questions
1. Is there an increase of the population of business resulted in high

A.
1. A summary has two aims, to reproduce the overarching ideas in a text,
identifying the general concepts that run through the entire piece and to
express these overarching ideas using precise, specific language. When
you summarize, you cannot rely on the language the author has used to
develop his or her points, and you must find a way to give an overview of
these points without your own sentences becoming too general.

2. The thesis statement is usually found at the end of an introductory

paragraph. It’s planted early in the essay because it informs the reader of
the main important idea that encompasses the entire essay. A thesis
statement is not always a one sentence, the length of the thesis
statement depends on the depth of the essay.

3. Omit ideas that are not really central to the text, don’t feel that you must
reproduced the author’s exact progression of thought. Be careful not to
misrepresent ideas by omitting important aspects of the author’s
discussion.

4. By using their own words, significantly condense the original text and
provide accurate representations of the main points of the text they
summarize and avoid personal opinions.

5. Plagiarism is the process of taking the job or thoughts of someone else

and passing them away as one’s own.

B.

1. When you write a summary, you are demonstrating your understanding

of the text and communicating it to your reader. To summarize is to
condense a text to its main points and to do so in your own words. To
include every detail is neither necessary nor desirable. Summaries are
much shorter than the original material—a general rule is that they
should be no more than 10% to 15% the length of the original, and they
are often even shorter than this. It can be easy and feel natural, when
summarizing an article, to include our own opinions. We may agree or
disagree strongly with what this author is saying, or we may want to
compare their information with the information presented in another
source, or we may want to share our own opinion on the topic.

2. Summarizing reduces a text to its main idea and necessary information.

Summarizing differs from paraphrasing in that summary leaves out
details and terms. Why is summarizing important? Summarizing helps
you understand and learn important information by reducing
information to its key ideas.
 3. An abstract concisely explains all the key points of an academic text
such as a thesis, dissertation or journal article. It should summarize the
whole text, not just introduce it. An abstract is a type of summary, but
summaries are also written elsewhere in academic writing. To help
potential readers determine the relevance of your paper for their own
research. To communicate your key findings to those who don't have
time to read the whole paper.

4. The abstract is perhaps the most important section of your manuscript

for several reasons. First, the abstract is the first section that is read by
journal editors when deciding whether to send your manuscript for
review. Similarly, once your work is published, it is the first section that
is examined by readers; in many cases, it is the only section of the
manuscript that they will ever read. These are some of the techniques in
constructing an abstract write the paper first, provide introductory
background information that leads into a statement of your aim, briefly
describe your methodology, clearly describe the most important findings
of your study and state the conclusion concisely and avoid
overstatements.

They used mosaic or patchwork plagiarism, with this type of

plagiarism, the work of someone else is simply paraphrased without
proper citation. It’s often difficult to detect because the plagiarized
material is interwoven with many different sources, including the
writer’s own ideas and perspective.

Evaluate

1. Paraphrasing is a way of using different words and phrasing to present

the same ideas. Paraphrasing is used with short sections of text, such as
phrases and sentences. A paraphrase offers an alternative to using direct
quotations and allows you to integrate evidence/source material into
assignments.

2. Reduced relative clauses refer to the shortening of a relative clause which

modifies the subject of a sentence. Reduced relative clauses modify the
subject and not the object of a sentence. Much like adjectives, relative
clauses, also known as adjective clauses, modify nouns.

3. Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with

or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full
acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in
manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition.
Plagiarism may be intentional or reckless, or unintentional. Under the
regulations for examinations, intentional or reckless plagiarism is a
disciplinary offence.

4. Plagiarism is when a writer takes material, or any length of text/content

from another source and take credit for it in their work meaning that no
form or attribution and credit is given to the original author of that
source. It is a combination of literary theft and academic fraud.
Paraphrasing is when you express in your words with originality the
words of someone else. If paraphrasing is done improperly then it might
fall into paraphrasing plagiarism and patch writing. But is you
paraphrase with originality and user citations then it is not plagiarism.

5. You will want to paraphrase or summarize when the wording of the

source is less important than the meaning of the source. The paraphrase
and summary allow you to maintain continuity of style in your paper and
 show your mastery of source material. Paraphrase short sections of work
only in a sentence or two or a short paragraph: as an alternative to a
direct quotation. to rewrite someone else's ideas without changing the
meaning.
B.

1. When you paraphrase, you restate the information in your words. You
first dissect the information to understand its meaning. Then you check
your understanding of what you read by restating it in your words. This
process boosts your comprehension and helps you get a deeper grasp of
the material.

2. It is important because it shows you and your reader, that you have
understood the source sufficiently enough to write it in your own words.
It also gives you a powerful alternative to using direct quotes which
might include some less relevant material.

3. Citations are important because, they help others find the information
that you used. They help establish the credibility of your own research.
They connect your work to the work of other scholars. Even if you are
using your own words, the idea still belongs to someone else. Sometimes
there is a fine line between paraphrasing and plagiarizing someone's
writing.

4. Quoting, paraphrasing and summarizing are all different ways of

including the works of others in your assignments. Paraphrasing and
summarizing allow you to develop and demonstrate your understanding
and interpretation of the major ideas/concepts of your discipline, and to
avoid plagiarism.

5. A successful paraphrase is your own explanation or interpretation of

another person's ideas. Paraphrasing in academic writing is an effective
way to restate, condense, or clarify another author's ideas while also
providing credibility to your own argument or analysis. While successful
paraphrasing is essential for strong academic writing, unsuccessful
paraphrasing can result in unintentional plagiarism. Look through the
paraphrasing strategies below to better understand what counts as an
effective paraphrase.

Evaluate
A.
1. Paraphrasing is the process which involves restating the whole sentence
or paragraph into the writer's own words. Different and original words
and sentences are used while paraphrasing. The idea is not changed,
only the sentence and the way of presenting them is altered. Synonyms
and the use of thesaurus help in the process of paraphrasing. Change
from the Active to the Passive. Often, we can simply change the grammar
structures in the question. Changing active voice to passive is a great
way to help paraphrase a question. Use a Different Word Form. Another
way to paraphrase is to change the form of the words used in the
question. It’s helpful to be aware of how word families work in English in
order to do so. A common way to do this is to change the nouns to verbs,
verbs to nouns, adjectives to nouns.

2. To paraphrase effectively, don't just take the original sentence and swap
out some of the words for synonyms. Instead, try, reformulating the
sentence change active to passive, or start from a different point.
Combining information from multiple sentences into one.

3. You must provide a reference. The paraphrase must be in your own

words. You must do more than merely substitute phrases here and
there. You must also create your own sentence structures.

4. The most effective way to paraphrase is change the sentence structure,

change the word order, use different definition structures, use different
attribution signals and change the sentence structure and use different
conjunctions.

5. You should write in your own words because it shows your reader (your
lecturer) that you understand the source.

B.
1. The corpus callosum is a large white matter tract that connects the two
hemispheres of the brain. It is an incredibly important structural and
functional part of the brain. It allows us to perceive depth and enables
the two sides of our brain to communicate. Why is corpus callosum
important for development? The corpus callosum connects the cerebral
hemispheres and is the major mammalian commissural tract. It
facilitates bilateral sensory integration and higher cognitive functions,
and is often affected in neurodevelopmental diseases.

2. Anger starts with the amygdala stimulating the hypothalamus, much like
in the fear response. In addition, parts of the prefrontal cortex may also
play a role in anger. People with damage to this area often have trouble
controlling their emotions, especially anger and aggression. As you
become angry your body's muscles tense up. Inside your brain,
neurotransmitter chemicals known as catecholamines are released
causing you to experience a burst of energy lasting up to several
minutes. This burst of energy is behind the common angry desire to take
immediate protective action.

C.

1. Difference among the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain

is home to sensory processing, endocrine structures, and higher
reasoning. The midbrain plays a role in motor movement and
audio/visual processing. The hindbrain is involved with autonomic
functions such as respiratory rhythms and sleep.

2. The four lobes of the brain are the frontal, parietal, temporal, and
occipital lobes. The frontal lobe is located in the forward part of the
brain, extending back to a fissure known as the central sulcus. The
 frontal lobe is involved in reasoning, motor control, emotion, and
language. It contains the motor cortex, which is involved in planning and
coordinating movement; the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for
higher-level cognitive functioning; and Broca’s area, which is essential
for language production.

3. Whole Brain Thinking entails being able to completely exploit one's own
preferences, stretch to other quadrants when necessary, and adapt to
and capitalize on the preferences of people around you in order to
increase performance and results. As students are obliged to reply out
loud to everything the instructor does and says, all of the aspects
employed in Whole Brain Teaching are meant to reduce inattentiveness
and disciplinary disturbances.
