When paraphrasing, you should focus on fully understanding the source material and then restating the key idea in your own voice and style. This means breaking down the concept, thinking about how you would explain it and rewriting it without copying the author’s structure or phrasing. The goal is to show comprehension of the idea while still giving credit to the original author through citation.
