Writing With Structure
- Let's say that your friend Calvin has just been asked to write a brief essay on different types of animals. He has decided that the best way to format his piece will be to divide the topic of animals into three subtopics that include mammals, reptiles, and birds. From there, Calvin plans to further divide each subtopic into categories that highlight attributes and examples of each type of animal. With this type of plan in place, Calvin prepares to write his essay using classification-division text structure.
