This paraphrase is approximately the same length as the original. It uses the second writer's words, not Kozol's, although it keeps proper names and other words crucial to the meaning of the original. Note also that the historical context of the original is mentioned so that readers of the paraphrase will understand that the figures are not current at the time of the second writing. When borrowing from other writers, use direct quotation sparingly, relying more often on summary and paraphrase. Reserve direct quotations for sentences in which the words cannot be changed without altering the meaning or the effect you want to produce.
Examples are highly technical phrases, expert opinions, and ideas that are aptly phrased.
The original writer may have written in a characteristic style or expressed controversial opinions or language that you don't want to appear as your own. Use direct quotation when the words of the original must be exact. But avoid long quotations. When you must refer to a long passage, summarize most of it and quote only those portions that must remain in the words of their originator. Direct quotation must always be accurately transcribed and enclosed in quotation marks.
