An informative text is a non-fiction writing that effectively conveys information, descriptions, and definitions about a certain topic, utilizing the 5W’s and 1H to address reader queries. The writing process consists of three phases: pre-writing, writing, and post-writing, each with specific tasks to prepare, compose, and revise the text. Important tips for informative writing include being factual, objective, and focused on expression rather than impressiveness.

1. Informative Writing
Techniques

2. An Informative text is a non-fiction
writing that provides information,
description, and definition of a certain
topic or idea. Its purpose is to inform,
describe, or define an idea or topic
with the use of information.

3. It contains the 5W’s (What, Where,
When, Who, and Why) and 1H (How) of
the topic. It aims to address the
questions a reader has in mind. They
are mostly found in encyclopedias,
newspapers, magazines, and
textbooks.

4. An informative text, just like an
argumentative text, consists of three
parts, introduction, body, and
conclusion.

5. The Writing Process entails three phases:
1.The Pre- Writing (Before);
2.While Writing (During); and
3.The Post-Writing Phase (After)

6. The Pre-Writing phase includes the
things you need to do “before” the
writing itself. It is the phase where you
are going to:
a. Determine the topic
b. Narrow your topic
c. Make an outline
d. Gather data

7. 2. The Writing phase is where you are
going to start writing your draft. Make
use of your map, which is your outline,
and the information that you have
gathered.

8. Tips: Just write and write and write. Let
the flow of words pass for you to
convey what you want to.

9. 3. The Post- Writing is the phase where
you can edit and revise your draft. To
edit is to correct errors committed in the
draft, such as grammar, punctuation,
and other technicalities.

10. Here are some tips to help improve your
paper:
1. The title should be catchy.
2. Be factual. Informing others with fake
news is punishable by law and is foul in
informative text writing.
3. Be a reader. Reading is a prerequisite
of writing.

11. 4. Be objective. Avoid biases by
focusing on your purpose—to
inform.
5. Write to express, not to impress.

consideration in this type of
