Expository+Reading

Notes from our meeting on Expository Reading on 1-13-09

Based on Writer's Inc:

Expository Writing is simply having a statement that is supported by evidence. These essays are meant to inform. If the text focuses on a problem/solution in the past, it is expository. If it is a current problem/solution, it is persuasive. This means that we need to find articles/essays about things that happened in the past.
