ESSAY
Purpose
After practicing using definitions to write a paragraph on the American dream, students are ready to begin writing the definition essay. The prompt (topic) for the definition essay is what word or definition represents the student’s dreams or interests?
Instructions
To respond to the prompt — define a word or phrase that represents the student’s dreams or interests — students need to
The word or phrase defining the dream or interest may represent present time or the future. It may be a term or phrase that describes an interest. For example, perhaps the student is a budding singer or songwriter? A chef? An artist? What does the student dream of accomplishing? Is the student planning on becoming a teacher, a veterinarian, or a business manager?
Students could compare or contrast the word or phrase to experiences they think the reader is familiar with in order to explain the meaning. Or, the student might choose to analyze why it is of interest (the causes) or how its influences (the effects). Be aware that the use of examples and descriptive writing will also be necessary. The essay must include at least two quotations or summaries of material from two different types of sources in support of the definition. The sources may come from an Internet site (Wikipedia and other similar online sites are not valid sources for research), an electronic database, or a book.
