In general, a StAIR (Stand Alone Instructional Resource) is an educational resource that allows students to navigate through information on their own and provides instant feedback based on learner's interaction with the information.

Posted below is my StAIR. This Stand Alone Instructional Resource on Paraphrasing and Summarizing is an interactive lesson designed to help students practice for paraphrasing, summarizing, and differentiating between paraphrasing and summarizing effectively.

I created this interactive lesson for my Advanced Level English Language Learning students. Although they can refer to sources when paraphrasing or summarizing by using APA citation guidelines, they have trouble paraphrasing sentences and texts, summarizing texts of their level, and differentiating between paraphrasing and summarizing.

UPDATE:
Below is the power point show version of my StAIR. This retains all the effects of the kiosk mode. Thus, this version runs much more smoothly. You will need PowerPoint to view. The file is compatible with PowerPoint 2008 for Mac and PowerPoint 2007 for Windows.
