    The document provides information about expository essays. It explains that an expository essay presents information about a topic objectively without arguing a position. It should analyze a topic by clearly outlining another author's thesis, facts used to support that thesis, and underlying values. The essay should also place the topic in a broader context by relating it to other work. It should communicate this analysis clearly to readers without them having to infer the writer's meaning. An expository essay also has a specific format, including a narrow thesis, distinct topic sentences in each paragraph supported by facts, transitions between paragraphs, and a conclusion that restates the thesis without introducing new information.

    your position in a meaningful and memorable way.

    • Never introduce new material in the conclusion.
