Post #5 - Extended Definition Essay


An extended definition includes the basic parts of a formal definition:

However, it goes beyond that, adapting whatever methods of development (i.e. examples, description, comparison/contrast, process analysis, classification, analogy, negation) to best suit the term it defines.

·        Write a  750(ish) word essay in which you give an extended definition of a thing, a concept, or a general phenomenon.  (Visit the PowerPoint presentation on Extended Definition, under shared documents, to review)
·        Please do not use the example from class, i.e. “What is Love?”  

DUE: Post to your Writing Portfolio by Monday, November 7th.

Please email and/or come for an office visit if you have any questions or concerns.
