based on facts. It explains and defines
concepts- a “how to” essay. It gets
straight to explain something so there

without creating an opinion or
taking a position

9. 1. There is a variety of international social responsibility concerns, and
child labor is high on the contemporary multinational agenda. For the
time being, the number of child laborers exceeds 250 million
worldwide. In fact, child labor is defined by the International Labor
Organization (2008) as types of work performed by children under 18.
2. Geographical location does truly effect how people of different races
interact with one another. One of the brightest examples is between the
South and the North of the United States of America. A young white
woman from the North of the country and a young Afro-American
from the South will have a lot of difficulties getting along together, due
to the hostility of the South towards white people in general as a race.

Method of
Development

11. What is Division? : A division paragraph
or essay explains a subject by dividing it
into its essential parts. It is often confused
with classification, however, the difference
is that classification is more a broader/
general category and division is going
further into the whole aspect. For example
a restaurant: classification will group them
into fast food, ethnic, family and gourmet.
However, division, you look at the
qualities or the parts that make it good
such as food, service, atmosphere, etc.

Division
Separating items into categories

12. 1) Identify and explain the essential qualities that make up the whole aspect...
Ex: What are the qualities of your ideal city? Overall weather,
appearance, people and living expenses.
What are the qualities for your ideal job? Money income, friendly
people, close to home
What are the qualities for your ideal friend? Loyal, entertaining,
generous
2) Write a strong thesis statement that says the topic and explains the method of
division by stating the number of subtopics, which helps the reader recall the major
points: People cope with loss in four common ways; anger, depression, denial and
compensation.
3) Once you have found the essential parts, you have the basic structure laid out. Now
you just add detail to the subtopics.
CREATING A DIVISON
PARAGRAPH OR ESSAY

13. ~ In studying the homeless population, you might discover that the people you
meet in shelters fall into one of three distinct groups -- alcoholics, mental
patients, and battered women.
~ Great Action Flicks
Hollywood continues to produce a constant stream of expensive, big
effects action movies, but most of these lack the ingredients of a great film. For
a start, any film worth watching needs good actors who can deliver their
lines convincingly. The wooden monotones of many muscle bound heroes
have sunk many an action film. Secondly, action films today need to have
truly spectacular special effects. But these need to be creatively developed,
rather than just featuring an endless series of computer-generated explosions
and battles. The last and probably most important ingredient is a convincing
screenplay. If the audience can't buy into the story, neither Arnold nor the
Lucas Film Special Effects Team can save the film. Yet, when a good story is
supported by solid acting and dazzling special effects, we can't help but be
seduced by the magic of Hollywood.
