Description
Help your students improve their writing by focusing on three key skills: paraphrasing, quoting, and summarizing. This unit teaches students how to improve their writing skills by focusing on learning how to paraphrase, quote, and summarize text in their own writing! By learning the crucial skill of paraphrasing, quoting, and summarizing, students will improve their writing drastically!
In this informational writing mini-unit, your students will learn the differences between paraphrasing, quoting, and summarizing, and when to use each one in their writing. Most importantly, students will learn that even when they paraphrase information, they still need to cite it!
This writing skills unit includes the following:
- An editable, 27 slide PowerPoint and Google Slides® presentation
- A standards-based unit outline that includes instruction for 3+ days
- Three informational text activities to help enhance students' paraphrasing, quoting, and summarizing abilities
- A full-text informational passages (The Gettysburg Address and the Preamble to the US Constitution)
- An excerpt text handout from President Barack Obama's first inaugural address with a link to the video and full text version
- Two helpful student handouts that can be used all year long
- All PDF activities available in a digital, editable Google® format
The instructional presentation teaches students about paraphrasing, quoting, and summarizing, and it includes color-coded examples for how to properly introduce and cite a quote and a quick quiz at the end of the presentations to check student understanding.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely Satisfied
Savannah B. says, "The "Paraphrasing, Quoting, and Summarizing: A Unit on Informative Writing" has been an invaluable addition to my curriculum. This unit offers a comprehensive and structured approach to developing students' skills in paraphrasing, quoting, and summarizing—essential components of informative writing. The well-designed lessons and practical exercises effectively guide students through the nuances of these critical skills, promoting a deeper understanding of how to integrate external sources into their writing. As an English teacher, I appreciate the clarity and effectiveness of this unit in fostering not only technical writing abilities but also a heightened awareness of proper citation and source integration. Highly recommended for its practicality and relevance in preparing students for informative writing tasks."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely Satisfied
Rebecca C. says, "There is much more than I anticipated in this resource and found myself needing to spread it out over three days of 55 minute classes. I used it to review what I thought students knew and realized we needed almost a day to practice paraphrase alone. I love being able to print supplemental texts from the presentation for students to write on and the quiz at the end of the presentation. To conclude we used our own reading already completed in class with the handouts, practicing the strategies specifically, before heading into MLA review and our first formal writing. Kids can return to the handouts, and I can reteach as needed through the year. Great product!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Extremely Satisfied
Gianna P. says, "This resource was so helpful before starting our informational writing unit. I realized many of my students did not know the difference between the three and were having trouble doing it for their essays. This broke it down for them and helped them use it for their essays/short responses since it included sentence stems. Thank you!"
