Three Steps to Effective Definition

• Tell readers what term is being defined
• Present clear and basic information
• Use facts or examples readers will understand

37
words to choose from

• Honesty
• Love
• Family
• Truth
• Fear
• Happiness

38
Choosing a Definition

• Choosing a definition is a key step in writing a
  definition essay.
• You need to understand the term before you can
  define it for others. Read the dictionary, but
  don't just copy the definition. Explain the term
  briefly in your own words.
• For example, you could write forever on the term
  "love." To limit it, you would write about either
  "romantic love," "platonic love," or "first love."

Essay Revision Strategies

• Identify the main idea in each paragraph. Write
  it in the margins. Look at the order of ideas in
  your essay. Do they CONNECT from one to the
  next?
• Identify the thesis statement in your second
  paragraph. Is it specific enough?
• IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH Look for the word many
  or a lot. These words are VERY generic, and
  means you have PLENTY of examples to back it up.
  Try to be more specific with your information.

71
Essay Revision Strategies

• Underline or highlight the first three words of
  each sentence in your essay.
• Do you have the same words starting sentences
  that are close together? Does it sound like a
  broken record?
• Revise sentences that have similar beginnings so
  you have a variety of sentence introductions.

72
Essay Revision Strategies

• Read through your essay and circle these words
• You
• Your
• My
• Me
• I
• REMOVE these words from your essay!
• Read through your essay and circle these words
• Things
• Stuff
• A lot
• REVISE your sentences so you are giving specific
  information, not general statements.
