Identify-popular-song-and-paraphrase-its-meaning

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review the Study Notes: Introduction to Scholarly Writing: Finding a Scholarly Voice and the Writing Center webinar on paraphrasing.
  • Identify a favorite song and locate the exact words of the song and its composer.

With this information in mind:

By Day 3, directly copy eight lines of lyrics from your song (choose lyrics that do not contain offensive language). Cite your information, including the composer. Explain why copying the lines of lyrics is not paraphrasing.
