Presentation transcript:

·Expository Prompts focus on issues/questions that don’t require students to bring particular background knowledge or facts to the table in order to write a good essay ·The expository task requires students to clearly explain what they think about something Expository Writing - Writing that explains

Write an essay explaining whether people should be more concerned about others than about themselves. Be sure to— ·clearly state your thesis ·organize and develop your ideas effectively ·choose your words carefully ·edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and sentences Read the information in the box below. In 1955 medical researcher Jonas Salk introduced an effective polio vaccine. At the time polio was considered the biggest threat to public health, yet Salk refused to profit by patenting the vaccine because he was more concerned with preventing disease than with personal gain. Although many people work to benefit themselves, some people choose to put others first. Think carefully about this statement. Okay, here is an Expository Prompt. Your job is to find your job. Where is your task in this prompt? What do these guys want you to do?

Let's practice a bit. In the following, find the task. Read the information in the box below. Jane Austen (1775–1817) and Franz Kafka (1883–1924) are considered great writers.Their books continue to sell, and they arewidely read and studied in schools everywhere. Neither of them, however, received much recognition while they were alive. Should people do things only to be recognized? Think carefully about this question. Write an essay explaining whether a person must always be acknowledged in order to have accomplished something. Be sure to — ·clearly state your thesis organize and develop your ideas effectively choose your words carefully edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and spelling

Be sure to— ·clearly state your thesis ·organize and develop your ideas effectively ·choose your words carefully ·edit your writing for grammar, mechanics, and sentences For an expository essay...

The biggest deal with this essay is the thesis statement. ·The thesis statement is the last sentence of the first paragraph. ·The thesis statement answers the question in the prompt.

1)A thesis statement just answers the prompt question. 2) A thesis statement is the last sentence in the first paragraph. So let's make some thesis statments: If the task is "write an essay explaining whether a person must always be acknowledged in order to have accomplished something", what should the thesis be? If the task is "write an essay explaining whether people should be more concerned about others than about themselves", what should the thesis be?
