What is the differences between:

a.       Fact and opinion- Fact is a something that can be verified.  Opinion is a belief or idea that cannot be proven.
b.      Summarizing and paraphrasing- Summarizing is using your own words to relate the main ideas of someone’s work, shorter that the original.  Paraphrasing is retelling someone’s work in your own words, usually the same length as the original.
c.       Thesis and support- Thesis is the main idea of a research paper written in one or two sentences.  Support is the evidence provided within the text that supports the main idea.
