Hi,

Are those words the exact topic you teacher gave you? It's a little unusual.

Start by thinking of ways to classify them.eg by age? by height? by gender? by looks? by their clothes?

Yes, those are the exact words the teacher gave. I was thinking about classifying by groups. eg couples, families, friends. Im just not sure. I observed people downtown and this is what else I wrote in my notes: types of pedestrians observed-coffee drinkers, cell phone talk/texters, dog walkers, baby stroller pushers, pan handlers, smokers, skate boarders & window shoppers.

Hi,

All of that sounds OK.
However, it doesn't sound like an interesting essay. It just sounds like lists of numbers.

Those are the different things that I observed pedestrians doing. How should I go about catagorizing them, or what principle should I use?

Hi,

How about breaking them down into two main groups, based on their appearance and their actions?
It's your choice.
