S: State: To state something is to say it briefly, clearly and sometimes it means offering the most basic put precise definition. Sometimes the “state it” definition is the textbook definition. Strategies to help students clearly state their idea or main point:
Have the student complete the phrase “I think…” about their idea or main point.
Ask the student to state their idea or basic point in one simple sentence.
E: Elaborate: To elaborate on the statement above is to expand it, explain it in your own words at a greater length. Strategies to help students expand on their idea or main point are:
Have the student complete the phrase “In other words…” about their idea or main point.
Ask the student to elaborate their basic point more fully.
E: Exemplify: To give a good example of a topic or concept is to clarify for yourself or your audience what you mean after “stating” and “elaborating.” It is best to have an original example that you pull from your own life or the world around you. Strategies to help students exemplify their idea or main point are:
Have the student complete the phrase “For example…” about their idea or main point.
Ask the student to give you an example of their point for their experience.
