Classification Essay

Assignment: Write a 500-word classification essay on one of the topics below.

Guidelines: Keep the following in mind when writing this essay.

• The essay must be written in third or first person, depending on topic choice.
• The essay must be 500+ words in length.
• The essay must be typed and double-spaced. This is to allow the instructor space to type comments on your paper. If the essay is not double-spaced, the instructor will not put comments on your paper.
• The following file formats are the only formats accepted. If you submit a file in a format not listed below, your paper will not be graded and will result in a zero for that paper.
  • .doc
  • .docx
  • .rtf
• Your paper should have an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement, body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph.

Steps: The following steps will help steer you through the writing process for the classification essay.

1. Make sure that you have read through all the material on classification. This is extremely important for your understanding and the success of this essay.
2. Choose a topic from the topic list below. (Papers submitted on other topics will not be accepted.)
3. Use the Classification worksheet to answer questions about your topic and to help you with prewriting and organization.
4. Write a working Thesis Statement. Navigate to the discussion board and postyour body paragraph for Classification Body Paragraph discussion. Make sure that you give at least two of your fellow classmates feedback on their thesis statements.
5. Read the rubric for the Classification Essay.
6. Write a first draft.
7. Revise and Edit your first draft for organization, development, and grammar.
8. Write and type your final draft of your paper. When typing your final draft, make sure that it is double-spaced. I do not put comments on papers that are not double-spaced.
9. Access GRAMMARLY and submit your essay to this free online writing assistant for help in correcting any grammatical mistakes in your writing. Download and save your Grammarly Report once you’ve corrected any writing issues noted.
10. Submit the final draft of your Classification Essay, along with your Grammarly Report, to this Dropbox.

Use of outside sources: Outside sources are not required for this paper. However, you may want to quote, paraphrase, or summarize from one of the essays from the textbook. If you do so, you must quote, paraphrase, and summarize correctly by using MLA documentation. See your handbook for directions. Do not quote more than three lines. Again, using outside sources is not necessary for this paper.

Topic Choices (You may narrow the topics):

1. Write an email (in the form of an essay) to your professor explaining why your English assignments have been late, presenting three or four kinds of original excuses for your tardiness in submitting assignments. Before you present your own superior types of categories of excuses, be sure to acknowledge the inadequacies of the excuses Segal lists, quoting a few and including parenthetical documentation and a works-cited page. (See Chapter 18 for information about MLA documentation.)
2. Write an essay identifying three or four categories of legitimate excuses for handing in work late. Use anecdotes (narrative examples) from your own life as a student to explain each category.
3. Using a humorous (or even sarcastic) tone, write an essay identifying three or four different categories of teachers in terms of their shortcomings – for instance, teachers who do not cover the assigned work or teachers who are more interested in their Facebook account than teaching in class. Be sure to give specific examples of teachers in each category using anecdotes (narrative examples) as evidence.
4. What kinds of survival skills does a student need to get through college successfully? Write a Classification Essay identifying and discussing several kinds of skills and indicating why each category is important. If you like, you may write your essay in the form of a letter or email to a beginning college student.
5. Divide your Facebook friends into categories according to some logical principle. Then write a Classification Essay that includes a thesis statement indicating how different the various groups are.
6. Topic of your choosing which you must have approved by your professor via email before beginning your essay.
