What's In
Classification as pattern of development of writing makes you associate similar
things or process by grouping them into classes or categories. Try this! Choose the
word/s that do/does not belong on each line then write a category name for each
group (i.e. rose, banana, sun flower, daisy = banana/flowers).
1. German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Persian Siamese, Siberian Husky
2. on land, by water, by air, by bus
3. carrot, cabbage, radish, onion
4. jazz, rock, pop, ballet
5. Coins, Dollar, Yen, Franc
Each item gives you a hint over a certain category. That's similar to our previous
lesson about exemplification and classification. However, although these words
belong to the same group, each of them have similarities and differences, which will
be the focus of this lesson on comparison and contrast.
