Annotating to Identify Types of Definitions
Students worked in small groups to compare their annotations they made on Eric Schwitzgebel's "How to Tell If You're a Jerk." Mr. Stone asked students to circle the words for which they had bracketed the definition.
Homework: Complete a rough draft of your extended essay. Use the paragraph on the Types of Definitions sheet you should have placed in your notebook as a model.
Make sure you begin your extended definition with the sentence definition you wrote earlier. Then include at least four of the following:
etymology/word origin
history of the word
synonyms
antonyms
negation/additional differentia
stipulation
quotations/examples
Your extended definition for this assignment should be at least eight sentences long.
