ENGLISH 1013: EXTENDED DEFINITION

What is this assignment?

In this essay, you will be crafting an extended definition. An extended definition is a detailed clarification of a significant thing. Specifically, you will be investigating a thing – an object, mechanism, process, or concept – of significance and teaching your audience why that thing matters. It will be your task as the writer to identify the thing, describe the thing, provide background/context for this thing, and answer the questions: why does it matter, and to whom does it matter?

This assignment requires some complex consideration before you begin drafting. To begin, you will need to select the thing you’re seeking to define. Some examples might be: anti-lock brakes, mechanical keyboards, chopsticks, the food pyramid, radiation therapy, the Montessori method, yoga, integrated circuits, Reddit, sustainable farming, the Strontium-90 radioactive isotope, or Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition. Next, you will need to identify a context for your definition, which will dictate the intended audience. To do this, consider the following question: where “in the wild” would you see a need for this extended definition? For example, if you chose to write about “anti-lock brakes,” you might imagine that your definition will appear in the operator’s manual for a new car. The target audience would likely be a new car owner who is potentially unfamiliar with what an anti-lock braking system is, how it operates, and what it is designed to protect against.

After you have identified the greater context and the intended audience, you will be ready to decide how to craft your extended definition around the requirements below.

This assignment helps you develop the essential skills described in our course learning outcomes 1 -7 (listed on the front page of our syllabus).

In the required 500 words of this paper you should establish the following: · The object, mechanism, process, or concept you are defining · Writing style and document formatting that is compatible with the specific context and intended audience for your extended definition · Engagement with at least three popular (non-academic) sources to support your main points, provide examples, etc. · Integration of one image that helps to illustrate your extended definition, accompanied by descriptive alt text and a caption · Proper MLA 9 citations for all writing/quotes/ideas/images that are not your own

Tips & Considerations Unsure of what some of these keywords mean? Return to your course readings, notes, or ask your instructor for clarification. There may be several different techniques (examples, partition, process description, analogy, etc.) you could use when crafting your extended definition. Spend some time pre-writing about how each technique would work with your chosen thing.

ENGL1013 Unit 4 Discussion Extended Definition

Name

Instructor

Date

· What thing are you considering writing an Extended Definition for?

An extended definition is a composition or paragraph explaining a complex term. There are a lot of complex terms that have different aspects from which they can be perceived from. These are the specific “things” that I am considering writing an Extended Definition essay or composition about. Some of them include; poverty and homelessness

· Why is this thing(s) important to you? Why do want to share details about it to your peers?

The above mentioned things are important to me because they would help me understand issues affecting me as a person from different perspectives. Through this understanding I will be able to make use of them better hence improving quality of my life. Additionally, I would want to share details about them to my peers because they are things that can have a positive impact in their lives.

· What intended audience do you have in mind for your extended definition?

The intended audience is my community members especially those in families and leadership. This is because the selected “things” have a general and others individual message. For instance on poverty, the message is general that can be applied by leaders and people in personal levels.

Step 2: Image/Alt Text Practice

To make my Extended Definition bear some meaning and become easy to understand for the audience, I would integrate I would make use of images.

Poverty

In this image, poverty is described from poor living conditions that pose health hazards to people

In this image, poverty is described from lack of financial resources to take care of personal needs.

Homelessness

The image shall be used to communicate homelessness message from unaffordability of available homes

The image shall be used to elaborate homelessness from the aspect of natural disasters that sweeps homes away.
