English 10-EXPOSITORY

An expository text presents factual information about a topic to educate readers. It does not tell a story like a narrative text. Key elements of an expository text include a clear thesis statement introducing the topic, use of transitions to connect ideas, supporting evidence and explanations in the body, and a conclusion that restates the main point. Common structures used are cause and effect, comparison and contrast, description, problem and solution, and presenting information in sequence.
