Today in class we completed exercises in SPHE on paraphrasing--literal paraphrasing. We didn't get to the homework, however, tomorrow we will review it: literal and free paraphrases.
In SPHE students are to complete pp. 339-380 by Monday, February 1.
Note: we have a library orientation Wednesday, Feb.17, 8 AM and 9 AM. We will meet at the reference desk. Put the date in your phone and planner.
Homework recap:
Bring in the article you have been working with this week along with the two literal paraphrases and the two free paraphrases of the same two passages. You will post this on the blog Thursday, January 28. Provide a link to your article for students to see the original text in its entirety.

We will discuss the difference between a summary and a paraphrase tomorrow and practice summarizing. Homework will be to summarize the complete article. I will walk around and confer with students over how many words or paragraphs.
Come to class on time and purchase your textbooks. I am making copies only up through next week, after that you are on your own.
I am working on the syllabus now and will post it by tomorrow. Half the Sky is only $11 on Amazon, so if you have a credit card, try to get it on-line and use the next day shipping option. We will use the book beginning Monday, February 1.

Sorry professor Wanda I don't seem to understand the full extent of the homework. I have two separate passages with one literal paraphrase for each. And i plan to do one free paraphrase for each also.
I checked amazon and the price has went up to $14. It changes prices often. It still beats buying it from the book store. For students purchasing it, make sure to look at the rating from the seller(if your are buying it used) and read the comments on the condition of the book.

A, Literal paraphrase
When the telephone was ringing, Mr and Mrs Su were finishing their breakfast. Nither Mr nor Mrs Su wanted to pick it up at first. Not so many people use their home phone to get tauch with them because not many people know their number. Once a month their son Jian, who is a sophomore in college calls them to tell them how he is doing. He usually spends his free time with his friend's families and he doesn't even give them a poor excuse. Mr and Mrs Su wish to see their son more often, but they don't want to upset themselv and Jian by complaning.
B Literal paraphrase
While the telephone was ringing, Mr and Mrs Su were finishing their breakfast. Nither Mr or Mrs Su wasn't want to pick it up at first. Not so many people use their home phone and even not so many people knew it. Once a month their son Jian who is a sophonmore in college calls them for reporting he is doing good. He usually spends his free time with his friend's families and don't even say something about it.Mr and Mrs Su wish to see their son more often, but they don't want to upset themselvs by complaning.
C Free paraphrase
Just right after Mr and Mrs Su finished their breakfast that only few people knew the phone rains. Of couse neither of them wanted to pick it up. They don't like someone bothering them in the early morning. They don't even want to complaing their son. He is sophomore in college and spends his most free time with his friends families. He only calls them once a month.
summaries from, "After a life".
Mr and Mrs Su are reserved. They have a son who is studing in college and not so colse to them. Their son spends mose his free time with his friend's family. Mr and Mrs Su don't have time to care about other people including their son.

Passage 1 - Literal Paraphrase
One false step last summer was all it took for Debi Thorkelson and twist her knee so badly she couldn't even bend her leg. After an MRI revealed that she'd ripped a major ligament, the physician said that she has to have a surgery. "I am uninsured, and the treatment was more than $41,000, not comprising the hospital stay, states Thorkelson.
Then her husband recalled a show he'd watched about Americans having medical treatment in Panama, at very low prices. He found a travel agency that paired patients with doctors overseas. The agency endorsed a U.S. trained doctor practicing at the Clinica Biblica Hospital in San Jose, Costa Rica. The over-all expenses? Just below $4,000 for surgery, plane tickets and 9 days in a newly opened rehab center.
Thorkelson is one of half a million Americans who went abroad last year to places like Brazil, Costa Rica, Singapore, Thailand and India for procedures like hip and knee replacement, heart and gynecological surgery, even cancer and experimental procedures such as stem-cell therapy states Josef Woodman, writer of Patients Beyond Borders, the first detailed guide to medical travel. A lot of experts have confidence that outsourcing health care is the new trend; while some believe that risks comes with it - long distance travel, unknown doctors, little recourse if things go wrong - make it an unwise and sometimes risky alternative. "Medical tourism is intensely free from harm if patients do their research and understand what they're getting into before they go." states Woodman.

Reflection about paraphrasing
Free Paraphrasing is writing in a whole different structure and phrases.
Literal paraphrasing is when you change phrases with synonyms and keep the same sentence structure. Literal paraphrasing is like plagiarism and that’s something that shouldn’t be done, because it copying other people work. But at the same time its easier to find ideas. But free paraphrase is having to come up with your own ideas, it’s the right way to write sentences.
