An expository essay consists of three main parts: the introduction, body, and conclusion, each serving a specific purpose in presenting clear information. The introduction sets the stage for the thesis, the body elaborates on the thesis with supporting paragraphs, and the conclusion summarizes the argument while suggesting further action or questions. Expository writing is informative and can be presented in various perspectives, contrasting with more personal styles like creative nonfiction.

What Is an Expository Essay?

An expository essay has three basic parts: the introduction, the body,
and the conclusion. Each is crucial to writing a clear article or
effective argument.

The introduction: The first paragraph is where you'll lay the


foundation for your essay and give the reader an overview of your
thesis. Use your opening sentence to get the reader's attention, and
then follow up with a few sentences that give your reader some
context for the information you're about to cover.

The body: At a minimum, include three to five paragraphs in the body


of your expository essay. The body could be considerably longer,
depending on your topic and audience. Each paragraph begins with a
topic sentence where you state your case or objective. Each topic
sentence supports your overall thesis statement. Then, each
paragraph includes several sentences that expand on the information
and/or support the topic sentence. Finally, a concluding sentence
offers a transition to the following paragraph in the essay.

The conclusion: The final section of your expository essay should


give the reader a concise overview of your thesis. The intent is not
merely to summarize your argument but to use it as a means of
proposing further action, offering a solution, or posing new questions
to explore. Don't cover new material related to your thesis, though.
This is where you wrap it all up.

Expository Examples
An expository article or report about a lake, for example, could
discuss its ecosystem: the plants and animals that depend on it along
with its climate. It could describe physical details about its size,
depth, amount of rainfall each year, and the number of tourists it
receives annually. Information on when it was formed, its best fishing
spots, or its water quality could be included, depending on the
audience for the piece.

An expository piece could be in third person or second person.


Second-person examples could include, for example, how to test lake
water for pollutants or how to kill invasive species. Expository writing
is useful and informative.
In contrast, someone writing a creative nonfiction article about a lake
might relate the place to a defining moment in his or her life, penning
the piece in first person. It could be filled with emotion, opinion,
sensory details, and even include dialogue and flashbacks. It's a much
more evocative, personal type of writing than an expository piece,
even though they're both nonfiction styles
