It's still a paraphrase. I find that it's a fair way to avoid plagiarism to cite the source of the information. You may not be writing a formal academic paper with a source list, etc., but telling where you got the information or assertion is fair to your reader and the source you're paraphrasing or quoting. Even in an essay, it is wise to let your reader know where you got the information you base your own conclusions on. It didn't come from thin air.
Thus, you might say, "Joanne Brown, in an article in the Dallas Morning News notes that parents often call their pediatricians after hours for advice when a child is ill."
I know I'm asking a lot of questions about plagiarism but I'm nervous lol. If I diagram two sentences and they don't look the same I might be free from plagiarism right? Like the two sentences I asked about earlier. From the source Parents often want to consult with doctors over the phone in off hours to determine if a child needs to be seen. And what I wrote. Parents may call the pediatrician after hours to see if they should bring in their child. Since the diagrams look different, the sentences are free from plagiarism? Also just to be sure again the sentences don't have plagiarism right?
