Workshop+1+Expository+Paragraph

Expository Paragraph parts : Expository paragraphs provides information and explains it. A good expository paragraph: 1.)Begins by stating the topic-it tells what the paragraph is mostly about. 2.) Often there is one sentence-called the topic sentence- that clearly states the topic. 3.) When we read we look for details that support the main idea. 4.)Similarly, when we write an expository paragraph we include details that support the topic.

One way to organize details: 1.) list them from most to least important.

2.) When I see some of the signal words "To begin with," it is a signal that the most important detail is coming up.

3.) Linking words connect the details Examples of linking words are: to begin with, In addition, another reason is, finally, or in conclusion.
