Define an abstract concept using exemplification and one other definition strategy.

• Choose any sentence from your response. Underline the complete subject and double underline the simple subject in this sentence; write “SUBJECT” in the margin.
• Choose any sentence from your response. Underline the complete predicate and double underline the simple predicate (the verb) in this sentence; write “PREDICATE” in the margin.

To define an abstract concept, you will need to choose an abstract idea (truth, justice, love, evil, friendship, kindness, hope, etc - I encourage you to choose one that isn’t on this list) and define it. 

1. Define by exemplification by finding an image that shows an example of your word in action (a police officer for “Justice,” for example). Try to find a color picture if possible; look through magazines if you have access. Glue or tape this image above the paragraphs that follow.
2. Explain your example in a paragraph that begins with “[Abstract concept] is [description of picture” (example: “Justice is a policeman in uniform.”) and then explains why this is an example of your concept.
3. In a second paragraph, define your concept using a different concept - Function, Negation, or Classification.
