Lesson
If you will be asked: “How do you define success?” What would be your
answer? This requires you to define and clarify your ideas. By doing so, you must
master core definition plus classification and other choices patterns of development.
Let us see how much you know about the most common used patterns of paragraph
development.
What’s In
(b.) Persuasion
(c.) Classification
(e.) Definition
Write the letter of your answer in the space before each number.
__________1. The purpose of this paragraph is to fully and clearly explain a term or a
subject, and this is generally done using one of three different methods: providing a
synonym, placing the topic within a larger category, or providing an explanation of
what the topic is NOT in order to better explain what it IS.
__________2. The purpose of this paragraph is to convince your reader that your
opinion is the right one.
__________3. At its most basic level, this is a question of what happened first, and
what happened second.
__________4. This pattern allows you to either divide a topic into its component parts,
or to categorize a group of related items or events. When dividing you begin with one
central topic and break that down into multiple parts.
What’s New
All research projects need a concept paper: a short summary that tells the
reader what the project is, why it is important, and how it will be carried out. Even
if no one else ever reads it, the concept paper helps a researcher spot holes in her or
his project that might later prove fatal. It is far better to be clear at the beginning
than to put in a lot of effort for nothing!
1. A title in the form of a question. This may be the last part of the concept
paper that you write, but it should appear at the heading of the paper.
2. A clear description of the research topic, including a summary of what is
already known about that topic.
This includes:
a. a description of the data or evidence that the researcher plans to
gather or use;
b. a description of how the researcher will analyze these data, and
c. a demonstration of how these data and this analytic method will
answer the research question.
What is It
Elements Definition
What’s More
1. Definition
Explication," says David R. Williams, "is the full interpretation of the text, its
history, its context, the definitions of the terms, even the different
interpretations possible"(Sin Boldly! 2009). (Marc Romanelli/Getty
Images) (By Richard Nordquist) Updated March 08, 2018)
Explication is a term in research and literary criticism for the close analysis
of a text or of an excerpt from a longer text. Also known as exegesis.
The term is derived from explication de texte (explanation of text), the
practice in French literary studies of closely examining the language of
a text to determine meaning.

Read the concept paper on Blended Learning then do the tasks that follow.
Of all the blended learning models, face-to-face driver is the closest to a typical
school structure. With this approach, the introduction of online instruction is
decided on a case-by-case basis, meaning only certain students in each class will
participate in any form of blended learning. The face-to-face driver approach allows
students who are struggling or working above their grade level to progress at their
own pace using technology in the classroom.
Rotation Model
Flex Model
As schools face increasingly tighter resource constraints, the online lab model
of blended learning is another option for helping student complete courses, including
those not offered at the specific school site. In this scenario, students learn entirely
online but travel to a dedicated computer lab to complete their coursework. Adults
supervise the lab, but they are not trained teachers. This not only allows schools to
offer courses for which they have no teacher or not enough teachers, but also allows
students to work at a pace and in a subject area that suits them without affecting
the learning environment of other students.
Self-Blend Model
2. Students are likely to interact more with the instructor and fellow students
since there are numerous opportunities to do so both in class and online.
4.Students can participate more in class discussions since they can choose
environment — online or face-to-face — in which they feel more comfortable.
5. Students can acquire useful skills from using the Internet and computer
technology.
Disadvantages of Blended Learning
