Today we learned these key components of expository writing. Over the next several week we will be learning to use these as we write a research essay. It is important that the students master these components so they can focus more on the writing. Students should study these each night as they will be quizzed over them.
Expository writing defines, persuades, informs and/or explains.
Introductory or lead paragraph invites the reader to explore the topic.
Thesis/Topic statement reveals overall purpose of the writing.
Body consists of three or more points, descriptions, or examples.
Concluding paragraph restates the thesis and offers the reader the
opportunity to reflect further on the topic.
Contains a topic body and closing paragraph
Our vocabulary words this week are: apprehensive, destination, jostle, meander, meticulous and narrator
