What is an expository essay?
In an expository essay you try to explain something to your audience. You begin by reading what your text has to say about a particular topic and then study the available literature related to that topic.
Then you form a thesis statement based on your understanding of the material, and explain and support that thesis. The thesis statement should appear at the end of the first paragraph of your essay.
