Clark Barrow

Perceiving Text Structure

Classification Structure

In the clas s ification s tructure, information is grouped into different clas s es (Bakken & Whedon, 2002) much as the
information is grouped within the literature review s ection of a res earch paper. The s trategy that Bakken and Whedon us e to
help s tudents recognize the s egregation of materials is to notice the changing of paragraphs , different titles and s ubtitles ,
and key words or phras es s uch as (a) can be affiliated with, (b) are as s embled with, (c) is a member of, or (d) belongs to.
They s ay s tudents s hould be able to identify the general topics and organize them into identifiable groups , s ometimes by
placing information into columns or placing different information onto s eparate index cards . Bakken and Whedon point out that
by placing grouped information onto index cards ; the s tudents utilize a s tudy technique that helps them to comprehend text.
This is an example of text in clas s ification s tructure.
