1. Expository Writing

2. What is Expository Writing?
A type of oral or written discourse that is used to explain, describe, give information or inform.
The writer of an expository text cannot assume that the reader or listener has prior knowledge or prior understanding of the topic that is being discussed.
One important point to keep in mind for the author is to try to use words that clearly SHOW what they are talking about rather than blatantly telling the reader what is being discussed.
The most critical key to success in expository writing is ORGANIZATION!
