Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge Schools Division
Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership with the Local

 RECAP

As our readings indicate, definition can begin with a synonym, a brief

phrase that explains the term/field in its most basic form. Last time, we had
started to discuss how to write extended definition using techniques which
depend on what is appropriate for the audience and subject matter.

LESSON
Exemplification writing uses specific, vivid examples for the purpose of
adding more information to explain, persuade, define, or illustrate a general idea.
Likewise, exemplification provides solid support and strong evidence to prove the
writer’s main statement. Appropriate examples also create interest in a writing
assignment.

By supplying specific examples, the writer adds additional who, what, when,
where, why, and how information to elaborate on the main idea of a paragraph or
essay. Good examples are logically related to the topic and provide the mental
imagery needed by the reader to make important connections. Making th ese
connections with suitable examples is important so that the author’s intended
meaning, difficult concepts, or unfamiliar ideas are made known and clearly
understood.

Types of Examples

• Examples that illustrate - use concrete examples to illustrate an idea.

Muslim women are active, assertive and engaged in society. In Qatar, women make
up the majority of graduate-school students. The Iranian parliament has more
women members than the U.S. Senate. Throughout the world, many Muslim
women are educated and professionally trained; they participate in public debates,
are often catalysts for reform and champions for their own rights.

• Examples that explain - give an explanation to illustrate a concept

But I came to realize that those husbands who helped very little at home were often
just as deeply affected as their wives - through the resentment their wives felt
toward them and through their own need to steel themselves against that
resentment.
• Examples that tell a story - use a short story to illustrate a point.

One day, rushing into the office of a magazine I was writing for with a deadline
story in hand, I was mistaken for a burglar. The office manager called security and,
with an ad hoc posse, pursued me through the labyrinthine halls, nearly to me
editor’s door.
7
 • Examples that describe - use examples to make help the reader visualize a
scene or a thing.

In Berkeley, there are wheelchair users on every corner. Propped in sagging

hospital-issue chairs. Space-age sports chairs. Motor-driven dreadnoughts.

Essays often combine both brief and extended examples

• Brief. These examples appear rather frequently within the essay, and they
usually function as concrete examples of straightforward ideas.
• Extended. These examples contain more detail. Such detail is needed
because extended examples function as concrete illustrations of ideas that
are too complex to be made clear by a brief example.

_______________3. For ten years, I taught public school.

adolescents.” A third school says that it “is dedicated to students seeking an
atmosphere that offers academic rigor through intensified literary arts instruction,
science and math investigations” and “an exciting inter-disciplinary, multi-cultural
curriculum.”

________________ 5. Take, for example, The Parent and Student Middle School Guide
from Region Nine, which governs fourteen schools in Manhattan. In the booklet, one
school brags that it provides all students with “academic preparation” while helping
them “to think clearly” in “an enriched environment.”
