Rephrasing - how it works
Read the first sentence. Complete the second sentence so that is has a similar meaning to the first sentence by putting the word in bold in the blank space (...) . Change the word if necessary. You must use between two and five words. For example:

By yourself, or by using an AI chatbot, create a script for a motivational speech about reaching out to people. You decide what your specific topic is, for example loneliness, friendship, face-to-face contact, and so forth
Structure the speech according to the five steps from Monroe's motivational sequence: attention, need, satisfaction, visualization and action.
Include the new words (either your Frayer model word or from the vocabulary quiz) to develop your vocabulary
