ENG 011: Paraphrasing Practice Carefully read the following paragraph and then write a (non-summarized) paraphrase of it. Your paraphrase should be approximately five to seven sentences long. It should be written in your own words and voice, but it should convey the same meaning as the original paragraph. This assignment is worth a completion-based credit grade.   Durable, robust learning requires that we do two things. First, as we recode and consolidate new material from short-term memory into long-term memory, we must anchor it there securely. Second, we must associate the material with a diverse set of cues that will make us adept at recalling the knowledge later. Having effective retrieval cues is an aspect of learning that often goes overlooked. The task is more than committing knowledge to memory. Being able to retrieve it when we need it is just as important.
