III. LEARNING EXPERIENCE

B. Presentation
DEFINITION
-is an explanation of the meaning of a word, phrase, etc. It is a

statement that defines a word, phrase, etc. and that describes what
something is. Also, it answers the question, “What is x?”
-is used when a message or text contains a term that may be

unfamiliar to the readers or listeners and that may be a key to their
understanding.
FORMAL DEFINITION
-is based upon a concrete, logical pattern that includes information

in a minimum amount of space.
THREE PARTS OF FORMAL DEFINITION
1. Term- is a word or phrase to be defined.
2. Genus (Class or General Class)- refers to the specific class or

category that the term is connected to.
3. Differentia (Differentiating Characteristics)- refers to the set of

characteristics separating the term from other elements in its class.
Definition Term Genus Differentia

(Class or (Differentiating
General Class) Characteristics)
1. English refers to a English a language serves as a medium of
language that serves as a communication
medium of communication.
2. Pronoun is a part of Pronoun a part of speech takes the place of a
speech that takes the place noun
of a noun.
TWO PATTERNS OF DEFINITION
1. T=G+D
T - Term
G - Genus
D - Differentia
= - is, are, refer(s) to, etc.
+ - that, of, for, etc.
Example:
Research is the systematic investigation that studies

materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach
new conclusions.
T - Research
+ - is
G – a systematic investigation
= - that
D - studies materials and sources in order to establish
facts and reach new conclusions

2. G+D=T
G - Genus
D - Differentia
T - Term
+ - that, of, for, etc.
= - is, is called, refer(s) to, etc.
Example:
A systematic investigation that studies materials and

sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions
is called research.
G - A systematic investigation
D - studies materials and sources in order to establish
facts and reach new conclusions
T - research
+ - that
= - is called
C. Activities
Activity 1: IDENTIFY THE PART OF A DEFINITION
Directions: Read each definition. Identify what part of definition is

underlined.
1. Students are a group of people who are enrolled in an

educational institution.
2. The pieces of information that are collected through

observation are called data.
3. Internet pertains to a global computer network that

provides a variety of information and communication facilities.
Activity 2: DETERMINE THE PATTERN OF A DEFINITION
Directions: Read each definition. Determine what pattern of definition

is used.
1. Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of

shape, quantity, and arrangement.
2. A brief statement of essential information in a document or

presentation is called abstract.
Activity 3: MAKE A DEFINITION BY OBSERVING CORRECT

GRAMMAR
Directions: Make a definition for each term by observing correct

grammar. Use the different parts of a definition. After making a
definition, say the pattern you use or follow.
1. PHILIPPINES
2. PRESIDENT
3. FILIPINO
4. EDUCATION
5. CELLULAR PHONES
Process Questions:
1. How did you find the activities?
2. What have you learned or realized in our lesson?
D. Generalization
1. How many parts does a definition have?
2. What are the parts of a definition?
3. How many patterns does a definition have?
4. What are the patterns of definition?
5. Is observing correct grammar in making definitions important?
6. Why is observing correct grammar in making definitions important?

IV. Evaluation
Directions: Read and analyze the statements. Write TRUE if the statement is
correct and FALSE if otherwise.
1. Definition is an explanation of the meaning of a word, phrase,
etc. It is a statement that defines a word, phrase, etc. and that
describes what something is. Also, it answers the question,
“What is x?”
2. Definition is not a key to understanding.
3. Formal definition is based upon a concrete, logical pattern that
includes information in a minimum amount of space.
4. Term, genus, and differentia are the three parts of definition.
5. Any of the two patterns of definition can be used.
6. Psychology is a branch of science that deals with the study of
human behaviour. The underlined word is genus.
7. Observing correct grammar in making definitions is not a must.
8. All words ending in ‘s’ are plural in form.
9. The statement is grammatically correct when there is no error.
10. In making definitions, subject-verb agreement should be given
less regard.
V. Agreement
Instructions: Using a one whole sheet of paper, write ten terms and give their
