Definition Essay Assignment

      Using traditional essay structure, write a definition essay on a word or phrase that I preapprove in class. You should choose a word that you feel very familiar with that other people need to understand more fully to gain perspective on your hobby, job, culture, or popular culture in general. Concepts that people misunderstand, misuse, or that can be interpreted in many different ways often benefit from sustained definition. Use the definition techniques listed in the rubric and that we discussed in this unit to provide strong development in your body paragraphs. As an alternative, you may select a term that applies to you based on the list of accomplishments you generated.
