Tips for the Definition Essay,[object Object],Thesis must be crystal clear,[object Object],Solid examples,[object Object],Good transitions,[object Object],Strong conclusion,[object Object],Don’t be afraid of your own opinion,[object Object]
Assignment #1 – Part One,[object Object],Think about the three essays you have read so far. Brainstorm a list of at least FIVE terms that you could define in an essay. You may also think more broadly about the topics of prejudice, immigration, racism, etc.  Remember that you want to look for terms/concepts that can have multiple meanings. For your first essay, you will attempt to define a term/concept in the way that YOU understand it.,[object Object],For example: IMMIGRATION is NOT a good choice because it can really only mean one thing – the migration into a new place.  IDENTITY on the other hand, is a GOOD choice because it can mean many different things.  IDENTITY CANNOT be on your list – you must come up with five words of your own.,[object Object],Your FIVE words should be posted to the Brainstorm – Assignment #1 Discussion board. ,[object Object]
