Class Work
1. On a post-it note, write the term you plan to define. Place it on the board. (Place to be noted.) Before you post, look to see if anyone else selected your topic. Place your post by that person's post-it.
2. Gather with other "like" terms. Share your paper charts. Share sources/sites.
3. Now, ask three people who are not in your group to define your term and to give you an example of what it is. Take notes - get the correct spelling of the names.

Homework
Write the draft of your definition essay. Decide how you will organize, then follow your plan. You could start just about anyplace on the chart!
In your essay, include a reference from In the Time of the Butterflies, information about a "wall," and at least one quotation from someone in the class. In addition, include information as needed from the other boxes on your chart.
Remember, the introduction must capture the attention of the readers and introduce the term.
Pay attention to your introduction.
