Assignment 2: Classification Essay
Write a classification essay (length 3 pages) using the MLA format, double-space, 1 inch margin all around, Times Roman, 12 font, etc. You do not have to attach a separate page called Works Cited or a cover page. Insert your sources inside your text.
Click on the following 3 links and read thoroughly. Also find more samples on the Internet and read for your full understanding. Those who cite from academic journals and other sources that have parallel prestige and status will receive higher points (this is normal in academia). Avoid sources that have no author names or appear to have no scholarship.

● If a student writes a paper without citing sources, it is considered “limited ability” in which case the student may receive a grade in the low-range.
● If a student writes a paper with citing sources, it is considered “emerging ability” in which case the student may receive a grade in the mid-range.
● If a student writes a paper with citing sources and offers a variety of prose styles in the paper (such as his own point of view, point of view of others, summary, paraphrase, quotation, comment, etcetera), it is considered “he is part of the larger community; his comprehension level is high; he is not inside the closet; he is part of the discourse, and so on” – in that case, the student is likely to receive a grade
