Revise your paragraph of extended definition so that: 1. You are defining an abstract concept that is worthy of a definition. Only define terms in which your definition may be different from the masses; the word may have changed OR have an alternate connotation in a community you may be a part of.
Your paragraph of definition MUST do the following:
1. Begin with a formal definition obtained from a dictionary. 2. Identify the class of the word (is it an emotion; state of being; time period or time frame, etc.) 3. Provide synonyms for the word or its class, to help the reader create associations. 4. Provide an example of what the word is. 5. Use either an analogy or negation to further define your term. Your paragraph of definition must also use semicolons and colons in at least two instances. Remember, this is a paragraph and not an essay.
2. You must use the graphic organizer--blue--to brainstorm before submitting your final paragraph.
