This class has been designed to help reluctant writers construct a simple Expository Essay during this 55-minute class. The class will commence with a discussion about the components of basic paragraph structure and elements. We will then focus on and examine how an Expository Paragraph/Essay is composed by viewing the instructor's exemplar. Next, we will discuss strategies that can be used to write a successful Expository Essay. Students will have an opportunity to share their final products with their classmates by reading them aloud or by submitting a TYPE-WRITTEN draft to me for critique. PLEASE NOTE: Students should be familiar with writing three-paragraph essays.
Learning Goals
Students will construct an Expository essay when given an expository writing directive.
