2. Basis of classification
• When you classify, you divide the members of a group into
categories. But on what basis do you assign members to
categories?
• When you classify, you need a basis for your
classification. For example in chapter two pre-reading
article about planets, we saw how the writer classified the
nine planets into two categories based on the distance
from the sun: inner and outer planets.

4. Classification and partition sentences
• Classification and Partition sentences require at least two elements: the subject to be classified or partitioned and the items which consist of subclasses in classification or partition, the steps in process, and the basis of classification. These subclasses or parts need at least three essential qualities, they should be:
• Complete• Grammatically parallel • Logical

7. Six guidelines for writing a classification-based or partition-based paragraph
1. Choose a basis of classification or partition that is consistent with your audience and purpose.
2. Use only one basis of classification or partition at a time.
3. Avoid overlap.
4. Be inclusive – do not omit a category.
5. Arrange the categories in a logical order (Ex: chronological, spatial, importance, etc…)
6. Use graphics to complement the text (optional)

8. Single paragraph
• A single paragraph based on classification or partition starts with a good topic sentence. The other sentences in the body of the paragraph deal with the subclasses or parts using a variety of expository patterns such as description, definition, and exemplification followed (sometimes) by a concluding sentence.
Beginning: The topic sentence
The body: Supporting sentences using various expository patterns: description, examples, definition, etc…
Ending: The concluding sentence

9. Multi-paragraph
• In a multi-paragraph composition, it is common to begin with an
introductory paragraph usually referred to as introduction,
whereas in a single paragraph, the introduction is briefly stated
in a topic sentence. The multi-paragraph introduction gives
more information (background Information) about the topic
and then turns to the specific purpose of the composition
(thesis statement). The introduction is followed by two or more
paragraphs called the body and ends with a conclusion. Here is
an example of a multi-paragraph composition:
