Editor's Notes

  1. This week we are going to focus on types of texts that give us information – Expository and Explanation texts.
  2. Some Expository/Information Reports may have a third feature – a conclusion, usually in the form of a general statement about the topic or thing. It’s not always there though because the main thing about these types of texts is to give you a lot of organized information on the topic but not always an opinion about it.
  3. This report originally had the headings which have been mixed up below – on the table containing the text you will see each paragraph numbered - put the heading below with the paragraphs or group of paragraphs to which they belong – note that some headings may go with more than paragraph:
