What will be an ideal response?
- Defining: clarifying vague or troublesome terms, which is only necessary when meanings are unclear.
- Reporting: telling "what happened" with little overt analysis or interpretation
- Describing: painting a mental picture through the use of vivid details that can make trite claims become interesting.
- Explaining: providing a deeper understanding by considering different views, accounting for how and why things happen, or speculating about meanings and implications.
- Demonstrating: informing by showing how something works or is done, which is the only strategy to break a process into tasks that can be completed.
- Storytelling: the only strategy to involve the use of narrative.
- Comparing: discussing similarities and differences, which is the only strategy to involve more than two items or concepts for contrast.
