Original Prompt

I need a paraphrasing worksheet for middle school students that shows directly quoted evidence that includes facts and statistics and how to paraphrase parts of it but keep the numbers true to the source.

This learning resource focuses on teaching students how to effectively paraphrase quoted evidence, particularly statistical data, while maintaining accuracy in the numbers and altering the sentence structure. The goal is to enable students to preserve numerical integrity and convey the original meaning through synonymous language and different syntax. The resource includes key vocabulary terms related to paraphrasing and statistics, a teacher demonstration illustrating the paraphrasing process, and guided practice exercises for students to apply what they have learned. It also provides a checklist for independent practice to ensure students have accurately changed vocabulary, maintained meaning, and used their own voice in paraphrasing.
