Exemplification
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.
We read the text 2 'Fun things to do in Great Falls'. After that, we found the main idea that was 'There are many ways to have fun in Great Falls without spending a Fortune.', highlighted the places in the text. We did exercise by matching the place with the activities, underlined them in the text, and highlighted discourse markers.
Next, we read text 3 which showed the examples of hazards in the home that jeopardize a child's safety and how to eliminate that are
- Can be poison by some houseplants = should be placed high out of the child's reach.
- Chemical products = should be placed out of the child's reach or stored in cabinets with childproof locks.
- Furniture = when they aren't being used, should be folded up or placed against the wall.
- Automatic garage door = should be tested on regular basis to be certain that the reverse mechanism works when the strikes an object.
- Curtain cords = should be tied to avoid possible shocking or strangulation.
- Electrical outlets = can be blocked with plastic plugs.
The topic sentence uses the plural word hazards to signal an exemplification paragraph follows.
What is the text about? = Many hazards in the home and how to eliminate.
Main idea = Many hazards in the home that jeopardize a child's safety can be easily eliminated.
Conclusion = Eliminating all hazards may save a child from serious injury or death.
We answered the questions correctly and highlighted the examples of hazards in the home, the way to eliminate the danger, and discourse markers.
Then, we read text 4 carefully.The text was 'What is Language', circled all the expressions which have the same meaning as for example, drew a line under all the examples, and completed the sentences.
Teacher lets us to know 'Problem and Solution'. She explained the difference between 'Cause and Effect' and 'Problem and Solution' and gave an example for us about mid-term test failure.
She assigned us to work in group to think the problem and solution and presented in front of the classroom.
