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.
