Meaning Makeover

This worksheet requires students to paraphrase full paragraphs while preserving the core message and logical flow. Each paragraph presents informational content that students must rewrite in their own words, using new sentence structures and vocabulary. This builds higher-level comprehension by guiding learners to analyze main ideas and supporting details before rewriting. The activity also strengthens academic writing skills by reinforcing proper paraphrasing techniques that prevent plagiarism. Students learn to maintain clarity, organization, and tone while transforming the original text. These structured rewrites help learners prepare for research projects and nonfiction writing tasks.
