Essay: Classification And Division

Classification and Division Essay
For this assignment, you’ll prepare a 1,200-1,500-word classification
and division essay based on your graphic organizer.
Assignment Objectives
For this exam, you’ll do the following:
Use prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing to write a formal,
college-level essay.
Write an effective thesis statement.
Develop paragraphs using topic sentences, adequate detail,
supporting evidence, and transitions.
Apply the conventions of standard written American English to
produce a correct, well-written essay.
Topic
Use the topic and graphic organizer you completed for your prewriting
assignment. Do not switch topics. You’ll develop your essay from your
graphic organizer. Your topic should be one of the following:

Types of food (we did the fries potatoes)

You’ll write in third-person point of view to an audience of your Penn
Foster classmates. To learn more about using the third-person point of
view, refer to the Classification and Division Worksheet on your student
portal.
The information you use to prepare your graphic organizer should be
based on your own knowledge and experience of your subject. Personal
experiences can inform your assignment. For example, if you watch horror movies, you know that they often involve jump scares. This kind
of information is fine to use. However, specific personal experiences like
the following example can’t be used as evidence: “My sister and I often
go to watch horror movies. She loves them, and then we try to scare
each other while we eat a big bucket of popcorn.

Research isn’t required. However, if you do research or incorporate
information from outside or secondary sources, you must cite your
sources using APA citation and documentation style.
