Defining Terms Practice
Below are some examples of common terms that may show up on an SAT writing assignment and that you should define if you use them in an essay.  Avoid simplistic "dictionary" definition.  Think carefully about each one, and then write a simple but useful definition of each term in your own words.  Include a well-chosen example if it helps to illustrate your definition. 
  1. Democracy
  2. Courage
  3. Adventure
  4. Liberty
  5. Political Power
  6. Discipline

(don't write the paragraphs though)
