English Composition (v4) : Lesson 7 : Page 2 Classification and Division Prewriting A classification and division essay breaks down a large group or subject into smaller categories to show the unique qualities of each small group. You experience classification every day; for example when you shop online or in a store. Both online and brick-and-mortar stores are classified according to the products they sell. Grocery stores are divided into produce, meat, dairy, canned goods, paper products, cleaning supplies, etc. Relevance: In your work, at some point in time you’ll need to persuade someone. Perhaps you’ll have to persuade a client to vaccinate his or her pet. This assignment serves as practice for this. Prewriting Instructions For your classification and division prewriting, you’ll choose one of the assigned topics and write an outline or graphic organizer to plan and develop your ideas and to help you draft your essay. This assignment is a persuasive assignment. Your thesis statement must present a debatable claim (argument) about your categories. Remember, your goal is to persuade your reader to agree with the argument expressed in the thesis statement. Your characteristics will have to support this argument. Since characteristics are defining qualities, they should be unique to each category. © 2020 Penn Foster Inc.
