Expository Writing

Expository Writing
During the semester, the class was assigned writing tasks that were intended to showcase our strengths and weaknesses in our writing. We were forced
to think outside the box and expand on ideas in our readings. In the beginning of the semester, I was not certain what to except from this course.
Writing has never been my strong suit, early in the semester I struggled with the writings. In high school, English class was not my favorite subject
causing me to not gain the knowledge I should have, coming into this course with a poor knowledge about expository and narrative writing. Once I
entered this course, the information that was received about expository and narrative writing helped me tremendously. I became accustomed to the new

My weakness that was evident in my writing was my grammar, I made a few mistakes that could've been fixed had I revised my grammar more
intently. Overall I enjoyed this writing because it was based off a topic that I could relate to easily. I learned that if I organize my ideas prior to
writing, it makes it a lot easily to write about.
Reflection:
The prompt of the reflection was to reflect on a topic and question it. I wrote about love and why it is that we love certain things. In my writing, I
explained how individuals fall in love based off quality memories that they have of that a person, place, or thing. My purpose was to provide the
reader with enough information to convince them that love is based off memories. The toughest challenge that I faced was finding enough
information to support my claim. Through multiple hours of searching the web I was able to find enough information that supported my claim and
was satisfied with my draft that was submitted. While I was revising my paper my focus was to eliminate any grammatical and or spelling errors
that may have been made. Throughout my writing the strength of it was my sensory imagery, when I talked about my grandmother's home I made
sure to give the reader a good mental image. Another strength that was evident in my writing was my personal experiences, giving a perspective
from my eyes to give the reader a better sense of what I was trying to say. The weakness of this paper was my

Essay on Writing Experience
My Writing Experiences My experiences in writing have been minimal. I have only learned the basics of writing, like putting together sentences,
forming paragraphs with sentences, and things like that. Since I have been taking college English, I can tell my writing has improved a lot. In the
future, I hope to be able to improve tremendously at writing essays, paragraphs, research papers, documents, and stories so that I have very little to no
errors with drafting and final products. I predict I will be a well rounded writer when I graduate from college. Writing in the past started in
kindergarten. My teacher taught me how to write my name over and over until I could write it with no errors. All through elementary my teachers

I need to learn to quit thinking as much on what I want to write about and how to write about a topic and just starting jotting stuff down in outline form
as it comes to mind. Run–ons and fragments I need to be able to spot and fix right away or I really need to not have any in my papers at all. My
goals are to write papers and not have to reassure myself that maybe I need to do more research or have more data or even have to rethink my
whole topic over. I would love to have the knowledge to be a tutor someday and teach other people how to properly write papers, paragraphs,
essays, and maybe even books. To have excellent skills in writing will definitely be a great advantage in my nursing profession. In nursing, I will
have to do lots of charting on my patients. I will have to do health presentations on various subjects such as exercising, how our society eats, and
sex education if I want to be a course instructor. Researching information on all of those topics I will have to make sure I do an excellent job on and
collect accurate information and statistics so that I can compare to other sources. Dictating to the doctor means that I will need to write properly so
that he understands what I am saying. Other nurses will have to be able to understand what I am talking about by my writing skills when doing shift
changes. I will have to be very precise so that other nurses will not

Remembering back we had just come out of the 1950's with straight lace kids to a world of kids who thought something was wrong with America,

The Importance Of Expository Reading
Expository text is a very important form of reading material that is used to present content in different ways. Starting as early as kindergarten, children
should be able to identify the main topic, ask and answer questions, and describe connections between two different pieces of information (Roehling,
Hebert, Nelson, Bohaty, 2017). Teachers have problems with studentsreading expository text. It is sometimes more difficult to read than just regular
story reading. Hebert, Bohaty, Nelson, and Brown conducted a meta–analysis on text structure instruction, concluding that it was an effective way to
improve expository reading comprehension (Roehling, Hebert, Nelson, Bohaty, 2017).
Different strategies were developed to help with understanding expository reading comprehension. Teachers play a big role in helping the students
understand. They have to begin with clear learning objectives that outlines the skills teachers want their students to demonstrate by the end of the
instruction (Roehling, Hebert, Nelson, Bohaty, 2017). Once the teacher decides on the learning objective, they can plan specific instructional strategies
to help students achieve the objectives. If there is a clear goal from the teacher, things will be easier on the students. Identification strategies is a good
start in recognizing the structure of an expository text. There are two possible goals of identification strategies: to recognize a single text structure or to
discriminate among several possible text

Expository Essay Rough Draft
Expository Essay: Rough Draft Everyone can feel, just like you and I, but there's one important question that lingers through the air. Should we
really be accepting of other people? To answer the question, yes! Although this does speak from opinion, it's essential to be accepting of others. It's
understandable to find laboriousness when looking through others, but we need to remember the reasons why it's imperative. To start off, we're all
the same! We're all people, but sometimes, we seem to overlook that part of us. We all process the same way, and I feel as if that's a good enough
reason to find acceptance. Something else to remember is that we all have emotions. When we don't accept eachother for who we are, our emotions can

Reflection Of Expository Writing

Reflective Essay
I have been taking Expository Writing for 4 months. I have found that I need to be able to communicate myself in writing. I must relay exactly
what I'm trying to put forth to others and convey the right message of understanding. I must be able to explain myself, negotiate, and work in
teams. My language skills can be worked on and improved. I need to be able to pick up the language of whatever environment I'm in whether it be at
work or school, or in society. Since everyone does not have the same background, learning how to write the written word is important in any
environment. I have learned how to write and express myself, how to think for myself, and how to find answers to things I do not know. Most
important I have learned how to believe in my writing.
I was very hesitant in taking this English class, I have not taken an English class in many years. When I took the placement test for reading and
English, I tested out of all categories. I was proud of myself for that feat. When I found I was going to have to take a college level English class, I
avoided it at all costs. Too much pressure. However, I have learned about the Rhetorical Essay was to understand how an author writes and not focus
on what the content is. Knowing the explanation of what techniques and author uses to make their point come across to the intended audience. I
learned about Argumentative Research Paper is to debate both sides of an issue. The intent is to be unbiased and state the facts on either side. I
learned about Public Piece with Presentation is meant to deliver an effective presentation to engage your audience. Your audience listens to not only
what you are saying but your visual engagement in the topic being presented. Also, the point of the class is to be able to work with others to achieve
a desired outcome or task. To know that I can work with others in a cohesive environment to draw on everyone's input and views. This will assist me
in the real work of life and assist in handling many types of people and myself in communicating.
I have never been a good writer; however, I have learned that communication is not the same when writing. Having a conversation about aliens

How to Analyze an Expository Essay
Expository writing, in general, is present everywhere. When you pick up a magazine or examine a newspaper article on the newsstand, you are
reading a form of exposition because the author's main purpose of writing that article or essay is to inform the reader about a topic. In the classroom,
many students are required to produce research papers about a specific topic, such as migration patterns of birds. The purpose of that research paper is
to inform the reader, the teacher, about what are the migratory patterns of birds. Finally, at the workplace, many people are required to create business
reports and memorandums to inform their supervisors and co–workers about the company's finances and progress. In order to analyze these expository

"Good" directions for a process essay should satisfy the following criteria: clear, concise, organized, and acknowledges common mistakes. Within
the model essay itself, it satisfies all of these requirements. The text describes, "when you find water becoming extremely hot (or cold)," the
homeowner suggests that the guest, "exit the tub promptly while using a sweeping motion with one arm to push shower curtain aside"(Frazier
303). This piece of direction is clear because it plainly informs the guest on the actual action they have to perform in order to prevent hot or cold
water from burning or freezing the guest. It is also concise because it does not include any irrelevant information pertaining to avoiding burning or
freezing the guest. This essay is organized because when the author listed out his or her directions, he or she listed them out in chronological order.
Lastly, "How to Operate the Shower Curtain" acknowledges common mistakes, such as "REMEMBER TO KEEP SHOWER CURTAIN INSIDE
TUB AT ALL TIMES!" (Frasier 303). The author is cautioning the guest to keep the shower curtain within the bath tub no matter what. The reason for
determining the kind of expository essay it is to help in determining the purpose of the exposition as a whole. Next, the third step to analyzing an
expository essay is to perform the

Short Expository: Being Different
A few years ago I noticed I had something unusual which made me dissimilar to most people, in fact everybody. At this time it was depressing with
everybody looking at you just staring, no considerations for your feelings. What got up my back was small minded people laughing at me or pointing
at me as if I was an outcast of society.
In the past I kept myself isolated because it was my breathing space and in that environment the world for me was less complicated than reality. I
constantly wondered if people were scrutinising my appearance. Why do people judge this book by its cover? There is only one 'flaw'. One
difference. Just one. And yet it seemed to matter so much. What gives them the right to look at me and act like I'm something they pick off the back of
their shoe?
Back then I was vulnerable and had low self esteem. In addition I was mentally exhausted. I wanted to escape from the cruel reality of the world. I
tried to achieve this by listening to music in my bedroom or having a stroll in the woodland – where I could for a short while blank out the hate.
Furthermore, the thought of moving from primary to secondary was very daunting. The first couple of weeks I followed my old class mates like they
were the piped piper to try to blend in. Soon they found new friends so I spent most of my time alone in the library. I was very lonely and had a feeling
of depression. Would whisper (loud enough so you would hear), laugh and point. This built up so much anger and

Expository Writing Class
If only there was a class that focused on nothing but writing, and not just any style of writing, but MLA format and other writing skills. Wait there is,
expository writing. Expository writing is a one semester long course, that focuses on the learning from the mistakes of an individual's works of writing
and practices MLA format. The beginning the semester started off with, what I can only describe as death threats, of reasons I should leave this
class. The beginning few days of class were very new to me as MLA format was being reintroduced. Overall this class was worth my time, hard
work and has better prepared me for future writing. This was the only class I have experienced that had students warning me not to take it, because of
the time consuming essays and difficultness of the class. I have overall found it to be a normal class, with the usual class expectations. For me the
class time was spent being productive and useful. Working outside of class was only a few hours, but time consuming, like I was warned. In my
opinion the warning notes were completely unnecessary,...show more content...
Whether it was spelling, using proper grammar or expanding my vocabulary. I am so proud of myself for finally taking a class that is totally and
fully about writing. This has made a beneficial impact on my writing and I hope it will continue to develop into well structured pieces of writing.
The mini lessons about grammar use or punctuation has greatly helped me. The last time a lesson in grammar was taught to me was in elementary
school, and having reminders like those really help. A lot of things are assumed that I already know, in reality it has been years since I have used or
learned the rules to some structures in a sentence. That is why, I believe, language art classes should improve on giving lessons, like grammar, to help
me and other students use words

Keep the vehicle at a comfortable temperature. Studies have shown that you are much more irritable when you are warm, so crank up the A/C to
keep your body temperature at a comforting level. Make sure you have plenty of gas when you set out, so that you're not actually worried about
running out of gas by using the air conditioner. In milder weather keep windows open to get fresh air which is soothing. Wear comfortable shoes and
clothing while driving. Avoid wearing clothes which are too tight and restrictive. Keep a pair of shoes in the car for driving through traffic and
make sure to change into those as soon as you start out driving. Opt for a seat cushion or back rest to further make yourself more relaxed during
traffic periods throughout the day. Joe Brown, editor in chief of tech blog Gizmodo, indicates that the best thing to do during a traffic jam is to stay

has different expressions. Writing is a form of communication; the person is writing to inform, persuade, describe, or tell a story. There are four main

the reader. You will most commonly come across this type of writing in advertisement. With that being said, persuasive writing is all around us. This
type of communication may consist of the writer's opinions, but the best form also includes facts to back up his or her statements. With attempts to get
consumers to purchase specific products, we see persuasive writings all around us in today's world.
"The battlefield had a cold malevolent air to it, the wind howling past you in every which way, as if trying to express its own confusion at the sudden

An anonymous soldier gives detailed picture of a battlefield scene. Descriptive writing, often used to portray a vivid, detailed experience, person,
place, or thing, is third of the writing styles. This style of writing requires strong observation skills to convey the writer's point of view. In personal

Expository Essay Vs Persuasive Writing
Even though expository essays and persuasive essays both have research and a thesis statement, they are different in the way that expository explains
while persuasive argues. The expository writer provides clarifying information about a topic while the persuasive writer presents an argument. The
purpose of an expository essay is to explain to the reader your position without trying to get the reader to choose your side. In a persuasive essay you
write to persuade the reader to choose an argument side. They are similar in the way on how they are structured they both require a thesis and a lot of

"1981 data indicated that just about half of all children with a father living in a different place see that father less than once a month or had not seen
him at all in the past year" (Seltzer and Bianchi, 1988). There is some evidence, that the measure of contact, though it still is low, may have increased
in recent years (Kelly, 1993; Furstenberg and Harris, 1992). Some have also noted that the rate at which contact decreases while it may be smaller, the
older the child, the more disruptive and detrimental it can be (Furstenberg and Harris, 1992). Such an outline would make sense that fathers of older
children who have had a longer time to develop strong relationships and to have made considerable emotional and financial investment in their
children's wellbeing; as a result, would be more unwilling to sever the relationship. Even so, the number of children with moderate or no contact with
their non–residential parent is quite large, and rising at a modest to rapid rate.
Remarriage does not usually advance issues for children, despite the potential gains from both improved economic conditions and the company of an
extra adult to help with the vast amounts of parenting tasks. However, oversimplified findings lead to embellishment through proponents of marriage

Everything Wrong With School In 10 Minutes or Less!
When I was twelve, I had no appreciation for school. I saw it as nothing more as a glorified daycare center with all the rules and regulations
specifically designed to restrict as much fun as possible. Then one day in the ninth grade, I had a revelation: what if school was actually meant to build
me up with knowledge and facts and not just waste my time? This was the foundation I needed to get me through the next four years. Whenever I was
bored, I would remind myself that I 'd never have a "free" education like this again. I adapted particularly well to this system of tests, quizzes, and
science labs but I could never understand the hang up some people had with it. School was basic and easy and all it seemed to require was
consistency an+d proper scheduling. I looked at people who couldn 't understand US History or Geometry and I thought they were dumb. It wasn 't
until much later with much more reflection that I came to conclude there 's a difference between how you score on the SATs and how smart you
actually are. Education isn 't necessarily a direct line to becoming intelligent and knowledgeable; education is nothing more than an institution designed
to equip people with subsets of specialized processing methodologies, algorithms, and a fair bit of esoteric trivia. Furthermore, the current educational
system in place is inefficient because of its rigid nature.
