Expository Writing Prompt
Think about how to define a hero by how he or she functions or acts. Draft a paragraph that establishes the function of a hero. Cite examples from texts you have read throughout this unit. Remember that the function strategy explains how an idea or concept operates in the world. Be sure to:
• Begin with a topic sentence that states how a hero functions in the world.
• Provide supporting detail (paraphrased and directly quoted) from life and from the texts you have read and provide commentary to develop ideas.
• Use transitions to create coherence.
Revise the language in your draft by creating figurative imagery (a metaphor) to express an idea.
