Pick one of these words:

Loyalty, love, honesty, courage, service, meekness, ambition, patriotism, liberty, faith, democracy, art, literature, doctrine, evangelism, happiness, genius, hypocrisy, culture.

You don’t have to use all of the next points but you have to use a few of them to write the paper:
1.  Give synonyms (what it means)
2.  Give antonyms (what it does not mean)
3.  Give history of word
4.  Use examples & anecdotes (MOST OF THE PAPER IS THIS POINT)
5.  Quote an authority
6.  Explain from many aspects.

The teacher said–

Start your paper by giving some sort of a dictionary type definition in your words.  For example, “Love is… or Honesty is…” and then build on examples. 

End your paper by giving a personal to call action.  Please talk about how you would apply this word in your own lives.  If you chose a negative word, please talk about how you would avoid (the word) in your life.

That is how the teacher left the class.
