The document explains the key components and structure of an expository paragraph. An expository paragraph uses linking words to present a topic, explain it through a logical sequence of ideas, and conclude by emphasizing the final outcome or process. It provides an example expository paragraph about the process of making chocolate cake with vanilla and almond frosting to illustrate these components.

emphasis on the final product or process desired
by the topic.

5. Example: Concept
Integrity, the word evokes the wonder of whether
or not our society deserves its value. With constant
whining about one's "rights" there exists the denial of
personal responsibility and the accompanying lowering of
personal worth. Where, then, are the individuals who will
stand up to the demands of family unity, a strong work
ethic, and a wholesome participation in the societal
framework? These very demanding environments cry out
for mature behavior in everyone, youth as well as adults.
It is when each individual accepts responsibility for
truth, honesty, and a job-well-done that integrity, once
again, emerges as a pillar of our national pride.
