Explain your personal definition of the word you chose.
Look up and post a definition from the Merriam-Webster (Links to an external site.) dictionary website.
Share whether the definition contained any words that were unfamiliar.
Be sure to look up any of those unfamiliar words—that happens a lot!
Create an example of course instructions that might contain that word in one to two sentences. Remember a course instruction should be the VERB form of your word…something an instructor would ask a student to DO on an assignment. Imagine the word you chose was “construct.” A sentence from course instructions might be, “Construct an argument to support your view on climate change.”
Discuss the similarities and differences between your personal definition of the word and the dictionary definition.
Describe how misunderstanding a word might impact your future assignments.
