Classification and Division

In every good essay, or piece of writing the writer uses Classification and Division to map out, and flow the conversation of the writing. In our last "In Class Writing" assignment we were basically given the task to dissect the article we were given. We classified what we thought were to be the main topics, and then we broke them down so that we could recognize the sub-topics, or the elements that made up the classifications.

When we incorperate Classification and Division into our writing pieces we will use the same process from the "In Class Writing" when we write. First we will have an introduction that will set up the direction of the conversation. Second we will use definitions so that we can relate to our audience. The definition of a word can be very malleable or changeable between people. People interpret words differently which is why it is important to explain, and define the message that we are trying to convey to the reader. Third we discuss the issues  to the topic we are talking about. This is the meat, or the body to an essay, we discuss what is important and how it relates the main classification. Finally we have the conclusion where we bring everything back together and discuss the what we were trying to convey to the reader and what we had hoped to get across to to the reader.

  1. I felt like this was more about the process of writing an essay more than it was about classification and division. I think you could have just expanded on the definition of classification and division a bit more.
