In 2-5 paragraphs, compare and contrast paraphrasing and summarizing.

Paraphrasing

Explanation:

Although the two are often confused, there is actually quite a big difference between them. When you summarize the text you are reading, you are simply giving a general outline of the story or article, briefly touching on main events or main points. Little in-depth information should be given. A summary should be 1/3 the length of the original.  

A paraphrase, on the other hand, can be more detailed. But you do have to be cautious of plagiarism with this one. In your own words and your own sentence structure, you are retelling the text as if recounting a story you heard from someone else. But it is your own writing. When possible, unless using necessary proper nouns, use completely different wording. Using synonyms of the same words will still be considered plagiarism. Similar sentence structure can also be plagiarism. If the original text uses many compound sentences, find a way to use simple sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences sparingly.
