Develop a 1-2-page thesis statement, introduction paragraph,
outline, and conclusion paragraph as part of the prewriting
process for an expository essay on how to write an academic
essay. Include a list of APA-formatted resources.
Introduction
Writers typically use expository essays to explain, describe, or
provide information to the reader. One may assume the reader
of an expository essay has no prior knowledge about the essay
topic, so clarity in writing is important. Newspaper and
magazine writers use expository writing every day, as well as
business writers who use business reports or memos to keep
stakeholders informed about things taking place in the
organization.
Using prewriting strategies to develop an expository essay will
help you plan your writing, organize your thoughts, develop
sound reasoning, and present information clearly to your
readers.
