Skills Lesson: Gathering Information Practice and Quiz

Explain the difference between a quotation, a paraphrase, and a summary.

A quotation is exact words from a source. To paraphrase is a writing a source excerpt in your own words. To summarize is you main ideas, in your words.

Read the excerpt below from the source material and the bibliography card. Then, answer the question that follows. Excerpt from "Human Cloning and Genetic Modification": 1. Reproductive cloning uses the cloning procedure to produce a clonal embryo which is implanted in a woman's womb with intent to create a fully formed living child—a clone. . . . 2. Therapeutic cloning uses the cloning procedure to produce a clonal embryo, but instead of being implanted in a womb and brought to term it is used to generate stem cells. . . . The purpose of using clonal embryos to generate stem cells is to allow creation of tissues or organs that the clonal donor can use without having these tissues or organs rejected by their body's immune system. Most people oppose reproductive cloning. Some people oppose reproductive cloning but support therapeutic cloning. Others oppose therapeutic cloning as well as reproductive cloning, either because they are opposed to the destruction of embryos as a matter of principle, or because they feel the acceptance of therapeutic cloning will set us on a slippery slope to the acceptance of reproductive cloning and human genetic manipulation. It is possible to support stem cell research and still oppose research involving therapeutic cloning. Bibliography Card: / Which note card is properly formatted and labeled?
