The function of the expository essay is to explain, or to acquaint your reader with a body of knowledge. By explaining a topic to the reader, you are demonstrating your own knowledge.
Effective steps to writing expository essays
Select a topic: Be sure the topic is narrow enough to make it manageable within the space of an essay.
Write a thesis sentence: Be sure the thesis statement expresses a controlling idea that is neither too broad nor too specific to be developed effectively.
Select a method of development: Check through all the methods before you finally settle on the one which will best serve your thesis (definition, compare and contrast, classification, or cause and effect).
Organize the essay: Begin by listing the major divisions which the body paragraphs in your expository essay will discuss; then fill in the primary supports that each body paragraph of the essay will contain.
Write topic sentences for the body paragraphs of the essay: For each body paragraph, furnish a topic sentence that directly relates to the thesis sentence.
Write the body paragraphs of the essay: Each body paragraph should develop the primary support covered in that paragraph’s topic sentence.
Furnish a paragraph of introduction: An introductory paragraph should state the thesis of the essay writing, introduce the divisions in the body paragraphs of the essay, gain the interest of the reader.
Write a paragraph of conclusion:
Restate the thesis and divisions of your expository essay (restate doesn’t mean writing dublicate thesis statement).
Bring your expository essay to an appropriate and effective close.
Avoid digressing into new issues.
