I used this as an early-finishers review activity for the skill. The passages were high-interest and my students got a lot of practice out of it. Thanks!

It served its purpose and I appreciate that there were a multitude of paragraphs to choose from. My feedback would be that it is there is one typo/missing word (can't recall but it was on the first or second sentence) and a great way to elevate this product for paraphrasing would be to add some evidence pieces (According to the American Dental Association...). Lastly, remove the word 'perfect' from the product; it can be stress-producing in some students.

Great activity after a mini-lesson on paraphrasing. Used this to help them put it in their own words as we work on nonfiction writing. Will use again!
