UNIT 5
CLASSIFICATION TEXT
The purpose of a classification paragraph is to clearly define something and place
it in a group according to some basis or rule so that it only fits in one group. In order to
be successful at this you have to be very detailed. The same information
can be classified
into more than one category, but the classification paragraph
sticks to one basis of
classification. The topic sentence has two parts: the topic and the basis of classification,
which is the controlling idea; it controls how the writer approaches the subject.
Classification: to gather into types, kinds, or categories according to
a single basis
of division.
Logical sequence: list the categories in this order: either most to least
outrageous, least to
most expensive, from largest to smallest and so on.
