"ENHANCING OUR PRACTICE"
EXPOSITORY WRITING - PART 2
Expository Writing can be used across the curriculum. In Science, you may write up an explanation of how something works. In Math, you may have to explain a concept. In any class you may be asked to write directions. All are forms of expository writing.
Explaining a Concept:
One of the best ways to understand a topic is to explain it to someone else.
Writing Tips - Before you write…
- Select a topic - if you have not been given a topic, use your textbook, your notes to find a concept that you can write about or books from the library.
- Study your topic - use examples that will make your writing clear.
During your writing…
- Organize your thoughts - decide on an order for the information. You could start with a definition and offer some examples. Then explain the concept and how it relates to the real world.
- Use examples and comparisons
- Think of some questions - include some questions in your essay.
After you’ve written a first draft…
- Check your sources - make sure you have explained the concept correctly.
- Keep it simple - look for places where your explanation may be unclear. Try to make your explanation as simple as possible.
- Check for correctness - review facts and figures, as well as grammar, punctuation, spelling, and other conventions.
Writing an Explanation: is used to share knowledge with readers.
Writing Tips - Before you write…
- Do your research - make sure you understand the topic you plan to explain. Use different sources - textbooks, internet sites, books in the library, and your own personal experiences.
- Organize your thoughts - write a focus statement on the details you have listed during your research.
During your writing…
- Share specific details - choose details that will help explain the topic to the reader.
- Use comparisons or illustrations - make comparisons to help the reader understand surprising or difficult facts about the topic. Also consider including drawings.
After you’ve written a first draft…
- Ask for another opinion - let several of your classmates read the essay. Do they understand it? Remember that the purpose of your essay is to write an explanation.
- Check for organization - review each paragraph and sentence to make sure each thought leads naturally to the next thought.
