Project #3: Definitional Text

Our last assignment in Writing 5 moved away from the traditional essay format. A definitional text’s purpose is to define a word or phrase and justify this non-official definition through a medium. The medium can be anything except a formal essay and therefore can take on the form of anything from an animation to a podcast. I chose to create a poem defining the word vigilante in my own terms.

Attached below are the initial medium, which was going to be a poster, for peer-review, my revision plan once I switched to the poem medium and finally the finished product.
