DIVISION / CLASSIFICATION

We spend a good deal of time organizing our environment in order to make sense of it and deal with it more efficiently. "Edibility" and " storage location " would be the principles of classification and division in the preceding examples. In writing, we classify and divide a subject in order to explain it to readers. A division/classification paragraph or essay either divides something into parts or groups related things into categories. Division and classification are ways of presenting a body of information in an organized and easily accessible way. In division we list the component parts of a single thing. For example, every essay we write could be divided into the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. In turn, the body could probably be further subdivided. Instead of starting with a single thing, classification occurs when we have many things and we try to organize or file them. Division is the process of breaking a whole into parts; classification is the act of sorting individual items into categories.Through classification and division, we can make sense of seemingly random ideas by putting scattered bits of information into useful, coherent order. By breaking a large group into smaller categories and bringing separate items together into particular categories, we are able to identify relationships between the whole and its parts and to recognize similarities and differences among the parts themselves. (Remember, though, that simply enumerating representative examples does not constitute classification; when you classify, you always sort individual examples into categories according to some grouping principle.) Division is the opposite of classification. When you divide, you start with a whole (an entire class) that you break into its individual parts-smaller, more specific classes, called subclasses. For example, you might start with the large general class television shows and divide it into smaller subclasses: comedy, drama, action/adventure, and so forth. You could divide each of these subclasses still further-- action/adventure programs, for example, might include westerns, police shows, and so on--and each of these subclasses could be further divided as well. Eventually you would need to determine a particular principle to help you assign specific programs to one category or another--that is, to classify them.

DEDUCTIVE ORDER

Deductive order is a pattern of organization wherein a generalization is stated first followed by particulars. It is the reverse of the inductive of arrangement. While the inductive order progresses from the part to the whole, the deductive order progresses from the whole to the parts. The methods of arrangement used in the following paragraph is deductive; that is the writer starts with a general statement of the destruction of animals and proceeds by citing particulars as to how man has done it. Starting with a hypothesis and talking from it, asking if the evidence fits the given theory, and concluding the strength of the hypothesis as explanatory. This approach often means in practice, taking a position and arguing its biggest points first, and descending.

INDUCTIVE ORDER

Explaining how such higher order thinking skills as induction are the foundation of all writing, Writing is Dialogue: Teaching Students to Think (and Write) Like Writers explains how to teach writing "backwards," moving toward a focal point only after first gathering a wide range of materials, including quotes, anecdotes, descriptive detail, and facts. In addition to more traditional forms of research (book-, newspaper-, or Internet-derived), the book details how students can gather materials via personal remembrance, on-site observation, interview, and field experiences to flesh out their discussion and perspective. Subsequent chapters show how students can utilize a variety of structures to organize their material, and a discussion of rhetorical styles illustrates how alternative approaches to teaching grammar can improve diction and sentence structure.

A good paragraph

A good paragraph cotains sentences arranged in the paragraph order.
It has a begining sentence, middle sentence, and an ending sentence.Usually the begining sentence expresses the main idea to develope and should attracted the readers attention .The middle sentence developed the thought in the begining sentence and the ending sentence usually simsrizes or strenghtens the idea and make it clay in the mind of the readers. It has also the following characteristics:unity ,coherence ,and proportion that makes the paragraph more good.

ARGUMENTATION

The purpose of an argumentation essay is to state your opinion on an issue and present an argument to convince others to agree with your opinion and adopt it as their own.

Arugmentation essays involve the use of logic and persuasion, and teach much more than research of a subject. While argumentation essays require more of a student than most other types of essays, they can also be the most enjoyable type of essay to write. Argumentation essays allow the writer to express his or her personal views about a subject. The paper does not only deal in facts, but also in emotional appeal. This site exists to help you learn more about argumentation essays, the process behind writing an argumentation essay, and logical arguments in general.

CAUSE AND EFFECT

By examining the cause or effects of something, we seek to explain thing that happen in our lives. There are nearly always multiple causes and effect associated with any phenomenon (action, event, idea, etc.). Emphasizing one or another cause and/ or effect is the point of writing a cause - and- effect essay. Be aware, however, that in doing so, you are making an argument. Be sure to adequately support your point! Causality (but not causation) denotes a necessary relationship between one event (called cause) and another event (called effect) which is the direct consequence (result) of the first. A cause is an agent or condition that permits the occurrence of an effect or leads to a result. from Latin causa: to make something happen, the reason something happens. A cause implies what is called a "causal connection" as distinguished from events which may occur but do not have any effect on later events. Example: While driving his convertible, Johnny Youngblood begins to stare at pretty Sally Golightly, who is standing on the sidewalk. While so distracted he veers into a car parked at the curb. Johnny's inattention (negligence) is the cause of the accident, and neither Sally nor her beauty is the cause, short for cause of action.

NARRATION

Narration is assimilating information and retelling it. Anyone would listen closely if they knew they were going to retell what they had heard. Just like when you've seen a documentary and tell your friend all about it the next day, you will remember it better.

Charlotte Mason uses an illustration of a doctor visiting a sick person in the hospital. The patient is in extreme pain and the doctor has written the remedy on a three-by-five card. He tells her this will alleviate the pain, however, he's only going to let her look at the card for a few minutes. Then the card will be destroyed permanently, and he won't be writing it for her ever again. Can you imagine the attention you would give to that card? This is the kind of attention Charlotte wants the children to pay to their reading. When they are retelling they have to leave some information out and that's one of the choices being made by their minds. Charlotte says it is not a mere act of memory because we let their minds act on the material in their own original way. They will classify and connect information. Remember, you cannot narrate what you do not know. If you can narrate it, you know it.

Narration can be used in all school subjects and in all experiences. Charlotte says years later the child will be able to narrate the same passage with "vividness, detail and accuracy of the first telling."

COMPARISON AND CONTRAST

Another useful organizational pattern is comparison and contrast. At the outset a clarification of these terms is important. If your teacher says to write a contrast paragraph or theme, he is obviously asking you to discuss the dissimilarities of two (usually, though there may be more) people, things, objects, etc. But, if your teacher asks for a comparison of two (usually, though there may be more) people or things, he does not necessarily mean to find only similarities. Comparison and contrast are broad terms which indicate you are to judge two people or objects or institutions or whatever against a set of principles.

One of the best ways to learn how to use comparison and contrast is to learn what not to do. First, make sure your components are comparable. Comparing Jimmy Carter and Charles Manson would be as foolish as comparing baseballs and house cats. Comparing the former President of the United States, former Governor of Georgia, Annapolis graduate, and dedicated Christian to a convicted murderer would be futile except in a sociology class. Comparing Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon or Charles Manson and Richard Speck would be more productive. Even a contrast of Carter and Manson would be difficult, since outside of being male humans, they have nothing in common. In both comparison and contrast, there must be some relation, some common ground between the two elements.

DESCRIPTION

A description is a representation, narration, story, portrayal, portrait, word picture, account, report, delineation, sketch, specification, characterization, declaration, rehearsal, recitation, information, recital, narrative, informal definition, detailing, record, monograph, brief, summary, summarization, depiction,and explanation of many things around.

DEFINITION

A statement conveying fundamental character. A statement of the meaning of a word, phrase, or term, as in a dictionary entry. The act of making clear and distinct: a definition of one's intentions. The state of being closely outlined or determined: "With the drizzle, the trees in the little clearing had lost definition" (Anthony Hyde). A determination of outline, extent, or limits: the definition of a President's authority. The clarity of detail in an optically produced image, such as a photograph, effected by a combination of resolution and contrast. The degree of clarity with which a televised image or broadcast signal is received. The act or process of stating a precise meaning or significance; formulation of a meaning.

About a paragraph

A paragraph is commonly used in technical writing when writing a
report and ideas.This also use by writers when they are witing different
stories to express their ideas and feeligs. It also plays important role
in writing.
A paragraph is a group of sentences which express a complete tho-
ugh and it has a topic sentences.A good paragraph has unity, coherence,
and proportion.There are two types of a paragraph.These are the indepen-
dent and related paragraph.The independet paragraph is a kind of parag-
raph that can stand alone and is not related to other paragraph,it con-
tains all the necessary ideas.This paragraph is advantage to use because
the reader could appreciate directly the important details that written
in this paragraph.The related paragraph is a type of paragraph that is
commonly use by writers when they are writing a long stories. It is also
called reated because every paragraph written in a story has relation to
each other.sometimes writers are using both of this types of paragraph
when they are writing.

It is very nice to learn on how to write a paragraph, because
it is very useful, not just only for writers but also for everybody.
paragraph is a good pattern in writing.

A PROCESS

A process is a naturally occurring or designed sequence of changes of properties or attributes of an object or system. More precisely, and from the most general systemic perspective, every process is representable as a particular trajectory (or part thereof) in a system's phase space.

It may refer to:

Process (anatomy), a projection or outgrowth of tissue from a larger body
Process (computing), a running program; a task to be executed, especially one which is largely self-contained
Process (engineering), a set of transformations of input elements into products with specific properties, characterized by transformation parameters
Process (systems engineering)
Process (philosophy), unifying principles which operate in many different systemic contexts
Process (science), a method or event that results in a transformation in a physical or biological object, a substance or an organism.
