Expository Essay

Don't forget your expository essay is due next week.

Hopefully, you selected a topic that is both newsworthy and personally interesting to you! Remember: the narrower topic, the better.

Sentence variety—good writing has good rhythm!

Short and friendly paragraphs.

Use quotes to establish authenticity.

Be informative: tell me something I don’t know.

Establish order: most important facts come first!

Use language specific to your topic.

Due on Friday, February 25th. E-mail me your draft if you need editing suggestions!
