Expository Writing
Expository: A 1-2 on Writing "How To"
Expository writing is not just to inform! The flavorful nature of exposition aims to share the facts! Anyone can write expository to explain, describe, list, inform, instruct, and much more. This style of writing creates a wide canvas for teachers and students. As a writing teacher, expository helps shape content, track thought, and meet students needs. It is also fun for children as they get to share and express thoughts in a more solid manner. It is truly a fun task!
TIPS
1. Be Clear from the Start
State your main idea early so the reader knows what you are explaining.
2. Stay Focused on the Topic
Do not include opinions or unrelated details. Stick to facts and explanations.
3. Organize Your Ideas Well
Use a logical order:
-
Introduction
-
Body paragraphs
-
Conclusion
4. Use Headings and Subheadings
These help readers find information easily and understand your structure.
What I Wrote:
A Guide to LUDO!
LUDO can be a fun game when it is played well. LUDO
needs 2, 3, or even 4 players. It can be a big competition. Players roll dice
to move around the board. They start from home until they roll six. Then you
move for each number rolled.
The rules are easy to follow. You can even play online. Try to get home
before the other players, but don't get eaten. You get eaten if someone lands
in your space. Play LUDO can be exciting!
