The Writing Process

At my ESL class, we are learning how to create an Expository Essay. We were told to do this different steps:

  • First pick ours topics,
  • second, brainstorm,
  • third, organized ours ideas,
  • then look for more information in the web,
  • and finally explained to the instructor if the website is it helpful and trustful or not.

The parts of a writing process are:

  • Invention
  • Collection
  • Organization
  • Drafting
  • Revising
  • and Proofreading (it is for grammar)

"Expository Essay".

An expository essay are usually written by critical thinking and researchers and it frequently used at college. There are 4 differents characteristics such as:

  • Thesis: when you start writing an expository essay you should put a little paragraph about what the topic will be before the INTRODUCTION.

  • Facts: it has to be in information that can be prove or realistic of the topic.

  • Neutral: the essay should not focus in only one side, it needs to be in an central form (Let said your talking about party A B, you do not focus about only A rahter than B has to be equal).

  • Third person: an expository essay do not need to be written rather the me or I.

An expository essay also has 4 ways to develop it:

  • Topic: this is the What the text you will writte it's about.

  • Time Order: It is of how chonologically are the topic its going to be. (first, second... few years ago, now...).

  • Space Order: Giving the main information at the middle of the context.

  • Informative Process: It is like "how to" of an essay or demonstration.
