Types of Expository Writing
2
Problem-Solution
  • Explains a problem and presents ways in which the
    problem might be solved.
  • A good problem-solution essay makes a complex
    problem simple to understand, and explores all of
    the possible solutions to the problem.

3
Description
  • The author describes a topic by listing
    characteristics, features, and examples.
  • The reader should be able to picture the topic in
    his/her head because the description is so
    vivid.

4
Description (cont.)
  • The focus of the information included for the
    descriptive essay may include the senses
    hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, and seeing.

5
Compare/Contrast
  • The author explains how two or more things are
    alike (similarities) and/or how they are
    different.

6
Explanation
  • The author explains a topic by giving details,
    definitions, examples, and facts.
  • The more specific details you give the better
    your explanation will be.
