Blog Week 10A

Classification and division is something that we all do on a daily basis when we are planning out our day.  We first see our day as the whole, and then we classify what is important and what is not so important. We divide our day into sections of time that tell us what we have to do, in what order we have to do them in, and within what time frame we must complete the task. By classifying and dividing our day, we make what is called a priorities list. That means, we make a list with the stuff that is more important as a header and a time; within that header we see what it is that we must accomplish before the given time. As the list goes down the not so important things are there. Like what would be more important A) brushing your teeth before you go out of the house or B) eating breakfast? For some people A would come before B, but for others B would come before A. That is the way that classification and division works.

As we classify and divide, we break down the whole picture to make sense of what is that we already know and what we would like to know. As a writer it is important to classify and divide the whole topic so that way it can be in order. There are topics that are more important than others, just like our daily planning, and there are topics that are just not so important. Classification and division is an important tool that must be used when trying to reach an audience because it will let the reader understand what the writer is trying to tell them.
