2 An expository essay is a writing that conveys information or explains and proves something
3 Introduction to Expository Writing In order to classify as expository, an essay needs: a thesis statement at the end of the introduction that answers the prompt to explain or discuss a particular subject matter
4 Introduction to Expository Writing In order to classify as expository, an essay needs: strong evidence that backs up the thesis statement (in the body paragraphs) a conclusion that makes a final thought for the audience

8 Sample Prompt for Expository Writing Take risks. Ask big questions. Don t be afraid to make mistakes; if you don t make mistakes, you re not reaching far enough. -David Packard, Co-Founder of Hewlett-Packard Taking a risk means acting without knowing whether the outcome will be good. Think carefully about this statement. Write an essay explaining why it is sometimes necessary to take a chance.
9 Steps to Complete Before Writing the Expository Essay Write an essay explaining why it is sometimes necessary to take a chance. 1.) Brainstorm examples that you could use in the body paragraph. 2.) Construct a thesis statement that directly answers the prompt in a single sentence (last sentence of your introduction). 3.) Create a hook, which is the opening sentence you will use to begin your entire essay. The hook should tie into the prompt in a realistic way.
10 Student Introduction Examples
11 Life is all about taking risks. If you don t take risks, you will never find out what would have happened or not have happened if you would have taken that risk. Taking risks can be a good thing to do sometimes, but can also be a bad thing. You never want to take too many risks because some of them can turn out to be real bad, but then some of them can also be real good. Strong or Weak WEAK There is no clear thesis statement. This will lead to a weaker paper. Introduction seems very wishy-washy.
12 A lot of people struggle with the concept of taking chances in their lives. Sometimes people think that if they do not know what the outcome of their actions will be, then it is not worth taking the chance. However, there will be a time in everyone s life where taking a risk is the best choice because it could end up making all the difference and potentially changing your future. Strong or Weak STRONG Interesting introduction with a clear thesis statement- we know what to expect from this essay!
13 Everything cannot be taken with caution or safety. Everything cannot be mapped or planned out according to one s desire. Some things invoke taking a risk to reach the outcome, even when one has no idea what will happen. Taking a chance is almost always a major first part in achieving success. Strong or Weak STRONG Good clear thesis statement; there is a good transition sentence to lead into thesis statement.
14 There are so many opportunities and chances people give up every day. Then later on we regret our choices and decisions we made for not taking the risk. So how come we don t take the risk? What makes us hold back from taking the risk? Strong or Weak WEAK Too many rhetorical questions; no thesis statement VERY weak
15 Introductory Paragraph Class Practice Read the following quotation: It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves. -William Shakespeare People tend to want to blame others when something does not go right in their life instead of looking at their choices. Think carefully about this statement. Write an essay explaining how decisions can shape a person s future.
16 Remember what the prompt is that is to be addressed in your essay: Write an essay explaining how decisions can shape a person s future. Let s start by brainstorming possible examples of people or characters whose decisions shaped their future. Where do I get detailed examples to support my thesis for my expository essay? Just B-HIP! B Books H History I Information (current events, music, movies, social media) P People (personal anecdote, famous people, athletes)
17 Brainstorming before Writing Write an essay explaining how decisions can shape a person s future. News/History World Events Miley Cyrus Gabby Douglas Books/Movies School/Community Michael Oher The Blind Side The Outsiders or The Hunger Games
18 Now it s your turn to brainstorm Write an essay explaining the importance of education. News/History World Events Books/Movies School/Community
19 Thesis Statement Class Practice Now you have some good ideas to support the prompt, but you need some focus. That s where the thesis statement comes into play. The thesis explains to your audience what you re going to prove. Anything you write in your thesis must be proved, so keep it focused! Prompt: Write an essay explaining how decisions can shape a person s future. Possible Thesis Statements: Men and women sometimes need to make choices to improve not only their lives but their community as well. Even though outcomes are uncertain, making good decisions can make a person be successful and positively influence the world around them. A person s life is influenced by not only their circumstances, but by the choices they make.
20 Now it s your turn to write a thesis Prompt: Write an essay explaining the importance of education. Work with a partner to create your own thesis statement that directly addresses this prompt. Write your thesis in your packet.
21 Hook Class Practice Once you ve brainstormed possible examples and created a thesis statement, it s time to create a hook. This is the opening sentence in your essay. Its purpose is to immediately make them interested in reading what you have to say about the topic. Hook sentences can take many forms, including: o Descriptions o Quotes (This is a quotation you have memorized, NOT one from the prompt!) o Definition of a big idea from the prompt o General statements The most effective and sophisticated way to start your essay is with a general statement about the big idea in the prompt. For example, in our class practice, the big idea is decisions. With that in mind, what are some possible hook sentences we could use to write an essay about how decisions can shape a person s future?
22 Write an essay explaining how decisions can shape a person s future. Possible Hook sentences: Decision: a determination arrived at after consideration (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Even though the future seems uncertain, decisions made today can affect the rest of a person s life. It is the decisions that people make that show their true character. Life is about choices. Every decision made in life has an outcome: positive or negative.
23 Hook Individual Practice Read the following quotation: Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. -Nelson Mandela Despite the huge dropout rate in American high schools, statistics show that the average teenager believes that their education directly impacts their likelihood of future success. Think carefully about this statement. Write an essay explaining the importance of education. What s the big idea in this prompt?
24 Individual Practice Remember that the prompt is to write an essay explaining the importance of education Now, write two possible hook sentences for your prompt.
25 Putting It All Together Now that we have reviewed that an introduction includes: A hook statement A transition A thesis let s put all of these together and write a full introduction! Here s the prompt we will use this time: Write an essay explaining how decisions can shape a person s future.
26 Putting It All Together Write an essay explaining how decisions can shape a person s future. Introduction:
27 Putting It All Together On Your Own! Write an essay explaining the importance of education. Introduction:
28 Writing an Effective Body Paragraph Begin your body paragraphs with a topic sentence. Give a specific example that helps explain your thesis in each body paragraph. Body paragraphs develop one clear, specific reason or example for believing your thesis statement to be true. Convince your reader to see things as you see them.
29 PROMPT REMINDER: Write an essay explaining why it is sometimes necessary to take a chance.
30 Body Paragraph Example Madame Curie took the risk of exposing herself to radiation for the chance to further our knowledge of nuclear radiation. She took the risk without knowing the outcome, resulting in her losing her life after many years of being exposed. It is because of her studies that society has a profound awareness of the matter in order to better protect ourselves. Had she not put herself in harm s way for the sake of research, the medical world would have suffered greatly.
31 Another Sample Body Paragraph Some people have a phobia of bugs, so they never go outside or camping. Those people have not taken the chance to be near one and realize that most of them will not harm one unless one bothers them. Of course with the help of bug spray, people can keep off the hungry parasitic ones. But, this will only happen if people take risks and chances. This student received a bad score because the body paragraph does not make the student seem knowledgeable or prove the point well. What does that mean?
32 Yet Another Sample Body Paragraph It is good to take chances. You will never know if you don t try. Taking chances will keep you open minded about different actions. There are good choices and bad choices. Too vague! Develop the idea! Use a specific example in your paragraph. Please don t do this to me...
33 The Last Example of a Body Paragraph Furthermore, another example would be Atticus Finch from the book, To Kill a Mockingbird. In this novel, Atticus is a white lawyer from the 1930 s who is defending an African American in court. He does this without knowing whether he is guilty or not. He also took this case at the risk of losing his credibility and honor in a racist society. It is because of this risk that everyone in the court and his kids learned about the injustice happening in society. This should be the look on my face when I read your expository essay

57 Sample Prompt for Expository Writing Kevin Pearce suffered a violent crash that shattered his dream of participating in the Olympics and left him with a severe brain injury, facing long odds of a successful recovery. He worked tirelessly at rehabilitation, ultimately regaining his speech and vision, while trying to reclaim enough balance to one day ride his snowboard again. There are bigger things in life than snowboarding, he said during a recent interview. What s so cool, though, is that I ve been able to deal with it. Kevin currently continues to snowboard. VIDEO
