Journal #3 (24/08/15)

The day started well because arrive early to class, today if I could have breakfast, so when the teacher told us to go and buy something to eat, I did not because it was full.
Started working on the pages we had to print today, we work in the same groups, but Wendy joined us. 
The first was: Reading Comprehension about Football, we had to read and answer eight questions, simple truth. and the other reading comprehension was about “What Brings about Changes in Science?”, but that read was more tedious, we had to read and answer six questions. 
When we finished, the teacher only revised page Football, I do not understand, why not reviewed the other. 
The next was read on various topics, I will explain one to one: 
What is Paraphrasing?: is a way of presenting a text, keeping the same meaning, but using different words and phrasing. 
What is a Summary?: is an overview of a text. The main idea is given, but details, examples and formalities are left out. Used with longer texts, the main aim of summarising is to reduce or condense a text it’s most important ideas. 
What is a Quotation?: is an exact reproduction of spoken or written words. Direct quotes can provide strong evidence, act as an authoritative voice, or support a writer’s statements. 
What is Plagiarism?: is the unauthorized or uncredited use of the writings or ideas of another in your writing. 
What is APA?: is reading style. 
Last activity was identified in a long text: Quoting, made a summary and paraphrase. 
Today we leave early, it helped me to study for tomorrow's exam.
What I liked the most is work in groups and I felt good and the same time tired, because read is tired.
