DIRECTIONS: Write a 5-7 paragraph classification essay based on one of the topics below. Read the list of topics carefully before deciding which one you will be narrowing further (consider how you are specifically categorizing the topic) and then categorizing.
1. The INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH should consist of a strong, specific hook (attention-grabber) and a thesis statement. There should also be a smooth transition or linking sentence from the hook to the thesis statement, which is the last sentence of your introductory paragraph.
Also, the thesis statement should indicate your narrowed topic (whatever it is youre SPECIFICALLY categorizing) and a list of your categories/groups. Watch your phrasing within your thesis. Make certain you are classifying/categorizing your topic Ways, reasons, or methods, for example, arent correct terms to include in your thesis statement (they tend to signify a cause and effect OR a process essays pattern of development). Types, groups or categories are all correct classification thesis terms.
2. The BODY PARAGRAPHS introduce each category, in order, from the thesis statement and then provide an explanation and/or details/example(s) about the category. You may incorporate subcategories, too.
Remember to also follow your thesis pattern of organization! Whatever category comes first in the thesis should be the first body paragraph and so on.
3. The CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH will effectively summarize the essays premise (you may repeat your list of categories) and provide a good clincher.
4. Do not forget to use correct, natural transitions and/or linking passages/sentences whenever necessary.
5. You may use first person POV (I, me, my, etc.), if its necessary. Third person POV works well in an essay like this. That aside, you know by now that NO SECOND PERSON PERSPECTIVE (you, your, youre, yours) is permitted! I will take off a point for every instance of second person I see in your essay.
6. PROOFREAD YOUR WORK!
7. Place an appropriate heading on the top left-hand corner of the first page as well, like this:
Your first and last name
