my Notes
Learning Targets
• Draft an expository paragraph about a change in life.
• Include key elements in an expository essay such as an introduction and supporting details.
In the next series of activities, you will practice writing an expository essay
that incoporates examples from your own life, from texts, and from society or research to support your thesis on the concept of change. Think about changes in responsibilities, family relationships, friends, hobbies and interests, school, fears, physical appearance, and so on.
1. In the graphic organizer below, list each area of change as a topic on the
top line inside a box. Then, on the lines below each box, write one complete sentence about the topic that could be used as a topic sentence for a paragraph. Remember that a topic sentence controls the content of a paragraph, contains a subject, and reveals an opinion.
