This document presents an 8-category framework for classifying expository writing developed by Alex Mead and Courtney Myers. The categories progress from simple labels and fact statements to more complex ordered paragraphs. Teachers can use this framework to develop writing instruction and enhance students' expository writing skills. The categories include labels, fact statements, fact lists, couplets, fact list collections, couplet collections, single/unordered paragraphs, and ordered paragraphs.
