Classification

Another logical method of organization is CLASSIFICATION: the grouping of items or data according to their similarities and differences. Some data can be classified in many different ways.

Consider the following items:

bread meat lettuce

milk potatoes soup

eggs ice cream pie

How many different methods of classification can be used for these items?

They can be classified according to food value, according to the time of theday at which they are usually eaten, according to price, etc.

When you classify data, choose the kind (kinds) of classification that seems most logical to you.

Exercise 23. Examine the following English words. Divide them into groups. You can have as many groups as you wish. Be prepared to explain why you grouped them as you did.
