3. What is a Division Essay?
Division shows how an idea or object can be separated into parts

To start, find your basis of division ; finding the basis of division helps analyze a topic and divides it into logical parts.
Your organization of this is still confusing. Why one bullet point in the middle? the progression from one piece of information to another needs to be clear and obvious

4. How to Structure Your Division Essay
Introduction: States a thesis that explains the similar relationship between the subparts
Body Paragraph: in separate paragraphs, with transitional materials to provide a sense of their inter-relatedness
Conclusion: Restates the parts of the thesis and attempts a synthesis or new understanding of the constituent parts
These descriptions are too vague. they sound like any other essay. make it specific to your mode

Classification is a story method that is broken down into several subgroups or classifications
Find the common denominators or traits among ideas or objects that are contradicting
EX: if you were faced with a question about the classification of a family it would look like: “My family , my siblings , my cousins”
You may have to go further into depth if asked about: “Close family members” “Relatives” “Cousins”
