During today’s class, we discussed the overall format of your expanded definition memo. The above images show the overall layout of your memo document using the research that you found (definitions and context-specific sentences). Everything that you quote must be cited using APA formatting and you must include a list of REFERENCES for all sources quoted.

NB: The introduction does not require a heading. It should include a reference to the term being defined, a formal definition of the term in your own words, the etymology of your term, a reference to the audience this document is intended for, and finally, an overview or roadmap of the contents in the document.

For our next class, bring three printed drafts of your memo to class for peer review. During our next class, we will perform peer review and discuss ways of making your memo visually impressive and informationally rich.
