PART I: WRITING APPLICATION
In this homework assignment, you will turn in a 1 page document that
consists of three paragraphs: a paragraph plan, a draft classification
paragraph, and a revised classification paragraph. Use a word processor, such as Microsoft Word,
to complete and turn in the assignment.
Remember to use proper APA format (Times New Roman, 12-point font,
double-spacing).
Step 1: You can choose any of the following topics for your classification
paragraph. Choosing a topic that is of
interest or choosing a topic that may be difficult for you to write about is a
good way to challenge your writing skills.
o Types of parents
o Types of problems in a
relationship
o Types of friends
o Types of people who read
o Types of games
o Types of greetings
o Types of campus fashions
o Types of housing
o Types of roommates
o Types of bosses
o Types of cheating
o Types of coworkers
Step 2: Create your paragraph plan, write your first draft, and then write your
revised draft.
First, write your paragraph plan. Next, in the same document, write your first
draft and then write your revised draft.
You should have three separate elements that show the progress of your
paragraph. Pay attention to your
purpose, audience, and mechanics in your paragraph.
Step 3: Save and submit your assignment.
PART II: READING COMPREHENSION
Step 1: Read âFadsâ by
David A. Locher on page 533 in your textbook.
Step 2: Answer the
following questions:
1.
Locher divides one of the categories
mentioned in the thesis statement into two subcategories. What are they?
2.
Who benefits the most when a product
becomes a fad? Explain.
3.
Why do fads disappear?
Step 3: In a paragraph
(about 3-5 sentences), please respond to the following:
Write a
classification paragraph about other types of fads. Make sure the fads are linked by a common
classification principle. For example,
you might write about types of hair fads, or you might break down fashion fads
or activity fads into categories.
