Classification and Division asks you to break something down into its component parts, offering an insight or analysis into the thing you’re breaking down.\u00a0 You actually use classification and division thinking a lot, perhaps without realizing it (e.g., different personality types of the people you know, different types of cars, different types of activities for your children, etc.).<\/p>\n

In college writing, in addition to grouping and classifying, you’re also asked to make a point about the groupings that offers an analytical insight (e.g., Of all the sixteen personality types that Myers-Briggs identify, the ___ type is the best to hire in a ___ type of job, for a number of reasons.)\u00a0 Your point – your main idea, angle, assertion – should be complex enough for you to develop creatively.\u00a0 Division and classification thought is a way of organizing and dealing with complex and\/or abundant information in order to provide additional understanding.<\/p>\n

Essays using a classification and division pattern have topic sentences and units of support for each group or class.\u00a0 The topic sentences themselves should have angles that relate back to the main angle in the thesis.<\/p>\n
