Teachers, save “Can I paraphrase?” to assign it to your class.

Read the sentence, rewrite it in your own words (paraphrase- so it means the same but is not copying). EXAMPLE Original: Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is one out of an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Paraphrased: There are about 100 billion billion galaxies in the universe, which includes our Milky Way.
