This video tutorial explains the classification text structure, which involves organizing written ideas by groups or types. It provides examples, such as classifying fish or ways to lose weight, and emphasizes the importance of signal words in identifying this structure. The tutorial also distinguishes classification from compare and contrast, and offers practical exercises to identify classification in text. The video concludes with a review of key concepts and signal words used in classification.
