Expository Writing

Good evening,

Please prepare to write a five-page expository essay for the final exam.

Expository writing is a genre that “exposes” or explains an idea, distinct from persuasive or narrative writing.

It requires commentary to explain how the evidence supports the claim,

Its topics are researchable and require explanation rather than just opinion.

It is important to use reliable, academic sources for university-level research and to distinguish them from less credible online sources by consulting library databases (e.g., JSTOR, ProQuest, EBSCO).

Based on the Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL), an expository essay in MLA style explains a topic clearly and concisely, using evidence to support a defined thesis without expressing personal opinions. The writing must follow specific MLA formatting for the paper and its sources.
