2) Expository Writing
Write a Paragraph
For the first time ever, a spacecraft has mapped the moon. How would you explain the Lunar Prospector mission to someone who had not read this selection? Write a paragraph that explains or informs. Begin with a strong topic sentence. Use supporting sentences to present your facts and explain your ideas. End with a conclusion that summarizes your information about the Lunar Prospector mission.
Brainstorm – Create a Outline
Brainstorm questions that someone who has not read the selection may have about the mission. You can then use these questions to determine what to include in your paragraph. Write the outline before you write. Your outline should include the main idea of the paragraph with supporting information listed underneath. Use the outline to draft your paragraph.
Self-Questioning
- Does my topic sentence clearly express the main point of the paragraph?
- Does my paragraph give evidence that supports the topic sentence?
- Does my conclusion pull together the facts in my paragraph?
Edit/Proofread
Reread your paragraph to check for spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes.
