To respond to the prompt (define the word or phrase that represents your goals or professional interests) students need to
Research the general meaning of the word or phrase
Define and explain what the word or phrase means to the student
Connect the dream or interest to the student’s landscape
What do you want to be professionally or what do you want in your future personal life? For example, are you a budding singer or
songwriter? A chef? An artist? What do you dream of accomplishing? Are you planning on becoming a teacher, a veterinarian, or a
business manager? A parent?
Students could compare or contrast the word or phrase to experiences they think the reader is familiar with in order to explain the
meaning. Or, the student might choose to analyze why it is of interest (the causes) or how its influences (the effects). Be aware that
the use of examples and descriptive writing will also be necessary. The essay must include at least two quotations or summaries of
material from two different types of sources in support of the definition. The sources may come from an Internet site (Wikipedia
and other similar online sites are not valid sources for research), an electronic database, or a book.
After choosing a topic for the definition essay, follow the eight steps of the writing process, including rewriting, focusing,
organizing, and outlining and drafting, revising, editing, and proofreading the essay before submitting it to the instructor for
