On Thursday, we had our moodle online session, and that was the second to the last moodle session. Defending clarifying terms was the topic of this week’s moodle.
Three techniques for defining terms:
Definition By Synonym – using a word or phrase that has the same meaning.
Definition By Category – determine a large group to which the term belongs.
Definition By Negation – explain what the term does not mean. You can include a sentence explaining what it does mean.
Techniques for Writing Simple Definitions:
Basic dictionary meaning, Synonyms, Direct explanation, Indirect explanation, and Analytical or formal definition.
Techniques for Writing Extended Definitions:
Narration, Description, Exemplification, Analysis by division, Process analysis, Cause and effect, Classification, and Comparison and contrast.
I hope eveyone had a great weekend and see you all next week.
