Classification Essay

Classification essay is a special type of formal writing, aimed at evaluating the categorizing
and generalization skills of the author. In order to write an award-winning classification
essay, the writer should single out the categorizing principle, according to which the objects,
referred to in the topic, can be divided into groups, organize objects into categories and
provide examples to support the classification.

The key stages in writing a classification essay are as follows:

1. Consider the topic carefully and identify the objects that must be categorized.

2. Think logically and identify the classification criteria.

3. Write a solid thesis statement, which will mention the topic and the classification offered.

4. Describe the categories and support them with examples.

5. In order to enumerate the categories, use such linkers as the first/second/third


group/type/class/sort, etc.

6. Write a conclusion with brief restatement of the categories.

Potential pitfalls to avoid:

Using too many categories: if you do it, the idea and the criteria for the classification are very
likely to be disintegrated and your essay will turn into a simple enumeration, thus, failing to
show generalization skills.

Using not enough categories: it can result in the omission of an important type of objects.

Using no unified criterion for the classification: absence of the governing classification
principle will result in the lack of clarity.

Using unequal number of examples: it will result in making some categories less important
than the others.
