Outline Your Extended Definition Essay

What is your term or phrase?

 

What is your purpose for defining this term?

(ex: Do you want to add clarity to an abstract or foreign word? Do you want to add a personal commentary on a word that you believe is misused? Do you want to make use of a technical term? Do you want to provide the historical use of a term? Is it a recognizable term that simply needs a closer look?)

 

 

What do you think is the best way to structure your essay?

(ex: Concrete to Abstract; Chronological; Negative Connotation to Positive; Increasing Importance; Personal to Universal)  

 

 

What could be some main points or ideas you could incorporate in your body paragraphs? (How does it connect with the novel? the non fiction source? what are some other ideas you can bring into it?)
