sections 48-49 WS

48- Classification is a way to organize information about a certain topic or topics. You find things in common between a studied group and use them to bring organization to your essay. Classification sums up the way we use body paragraphs to present information in an essay. You want each paragraph to represent a certain characteristic, or topic of your essay. These body paragraphs come together to explain in detail the characteristics you may have researched or observed for your essay. In our upcoming essay number 3, we will be "arguing for a change or addition we would like to see in the k-12 curriculum". These changes must come from what we have seen in the movies Chalk and Superman. Since we will be using two different sources we will have to organize this essay with classification in order to present the facts clearly and argue our point.

49- Comparison/ Contrast I believe we will be using the information presented in this section to help us write about the two movies we have yet to watch at school. I will be making a list of similarities and differences to help me to organize my argument. I have a tendency to begin trailing off and getting off subject when one thing leads to another, and so on..... The sample provided in our book helps to give a clear idea of what our essays should sound like when being read; a presentation of information on the two movies, organized and/or classified to argue our point of what we believe should be different in the k-12 curriculum.
