II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Making definition is essential in an academic writing particularly to a 10th

grade student like you since you will be writing a research paper as one of the
requirements in your subject. Writing basic definitions requires skill, practice and
help. This skill is needed in the Definition of Terms, a part of the research paper
which gives the technical and operational definitions of the words used in the paper.
One way to do this in easier way is to know how to make a vocabulary map.
Vocabulary Map is a strategy used to guide the students visualize the
components of a definition. This helps students to develop understanding of a word
and build upon prior knowledge and create new information.

REMEMBER THIS!
In order to develop a meaningful definition, the map needs to contain three
relationships:
1 .What is it? – category of the word
2. What is it like? - properties
3. What are some examples? – illustrations/ examples

Therefore, the definition now includes properties, categories, and examples. It

should be grammatically correct and must follow the following guidelines.
