Definition: The property or state of being relevant or pertinent.

Alright class, settle in and let’s take a look! Now, you’ve got the dictionary definition – “the property or state of being relevant or pertinent” – which is perfectly good, but let's break it down with a little rhyme. Think about this: “Relevance,” it’s a key to see, How something connects for you and me. It means that something matters, it’s not just fluff, It ties into what you know, it's truly enough! Let's say you’re learning about the Roman Empire, right? That’s relevant if you’re studying how modern governments were influenced by them. But if you're studying a recipe for blueberry pie... well, that might not be so relevant to your Roman studies! Basically, relevance asks: "Does this information matter in this situation?" Does it help us understand something else? Is it useful or important? It’s about finding the connections – seeing how things link together. Do you have any questions about what we've covered so far? Let's discuss!
