Turning our thoughts into a full sentence. Expository writing (factual writing) uses a certain format: Topic Sentence Fact, Detail, or Reason Sentence Example, Explanation, Evidence Setence Concluding Sentence
Green --- Go! Introduce your topic. • Yellow --- Slow down! Give a fact, detail, or reason. • Red—Stop! Explain yourself. • Green– Remind your reader of your topic.
TFEC Thanks for eating cake!
So my topic sentence for this writing prompt may be something like… • ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ • If I had to live with all the trash that I ever created, my life would be a disaster!
Then I would include a fact, detail, or reason • ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ • My home would be very dirty.
Then I would give an example or explain my f/d/r • _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ • There would be garbage outside on the lawn, and all over the floor.
Let’s add another fact, detail, or reason. • ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And then we have to explain this further. • ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And then we end in a concluding sentence which reminds our reader of our topic. • _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
