D. Discussing new concepts and

practicing new skills
This morning, we will know another lessons,
bear with me this morning because we are
going to talk about the Features of Expository
Text

A text may come in various forms that serve

different purposes such as texts that explain,
argue, entertain, persuade, and inspire. A text
that explains and gives facts is called expository
text.

Here are the Characteristics of Expository

Texts

Expository texts should have the following

characteristics:

a. Expository texts should provide information

about a particular topic
b. These types of texts are usually written in
paragraphs. It should contain a main idea,
supporting details that explain the main idea,
and a concluding paragraph.
c. information presented in an expository text
should be organized in a clear text structure.
Language used in expository text is domain-
specific in terms of vocabulary to precisely
explain the topic.
Here are some other examples of an Expository
Text aside from the common one like
newspapers, textbooks and magazines. These
examples shown below are paragraph or texts in
which it provides factual information about
growing up with siblings.

In this example, the writer focused on why

his/her siblings are important in his/her life.
Notice that the discussion circled about what
attitudes and values the writer learned from
having siblings and how they changed or
developed the writer as a person. Because the
topic is more on a personal exposition, the
structure and organization of ideas in the text do
not need to be complicated.

Who can give me an example of expository

text?

Yes, Christian?

The news today is mostly about the war in Ukraine.

E. Discussing new concepts and

practicing new skills#2
Next we're going to tackle about the Text
Structures of Expository Texts

Expository texts are usually clearly structured

to help readers in getting and understanding
information. They are used by the writers to
present and explain information. These text
structures are the following:
 Text Description Signal
Structure Words
Description Lists Such as, for
characteristic example, for
s, features, instance,
and examples most
to describe a important, in
subject front, beside,
near
Sequence Lists down First, second,
items in third, before,
chronological not long after,
order after that, at
the same
time, finally,
then
Comparison Compares Like, unlike,
and Contrast and contrasts but, in
two subjects contrast, on
or topics the other

also, too, as
well as
Cause and Explains one therefore, so,

effect/s then....
consequently,
cause, effect,
in order to
Problem and Discusses a Solution,
Solution question or a solve, effect,
problem and hopeful,
gives a concern,
solution or an challenge,
answer resolve

In the sample expository text, the text structure

is more of a sequence as it lists down the most
important values the writer has learned from
having siblings. He or she enumerated these
values and how he or she acquired and related
these values to having siblings in his or her life.

Now, who can give me examples of expository

text using any text structures presented above?

Very good! What type of structure did she use? The WHO had already invented a vaccine for the Covid
19 virus. However, we can’t assure that we can live
normally again.

Excellent!

Comparison and contrast

Alright! Is our lesson for today all clear to you
class?

Very good!
Yes Ma’am!
Now let’s proceed to our activity. Are you
ready?

Yes, we are!

F. Developing mastery (leads to
