• In-class Writing: Like Daum, select an abstract quality (an emotion, phenomenon,
etc.) and define it. Begin with a formal definition, but then develop your own definition with examples or anecdotes that help define that term. If you want, you can establish multiple categories or “types” of this term and provide a series of examples for each category. Remember, the point is to take this abstract and make it concrete. Be prepared to share with the class.
• Trade and critique in-class writing
• Small groups: Share out and discuss potential ideas for the definition essay.
- pros/cons
- potential and interest
- personal expertise or need for research
