Focus on Expository Writing Introduction –Attract the reader’s attention –Provide background information –State the main idea

Focus on Expository Writing Body Paragraphs –Each begin with a topic sentence which directs the paragraph –Include support/evidence/specific details –Interpretation “Therefore What?”

Focus on Expository Writing Conclusion –Allows the writer to EXIT the paper –Usually the LAST sentence is the most significant (think THEME)

Shadow Fort I have a place I love to go. It’s a fort, or a clubhouse, where I can go with my friends. We can hang out there, plan neat stuff, eat, and rest. Shadow Fort is my favorite place for lots of reasons.

Shadow Fort First of all, there’s plenty of room for a few kids. It’s large (gargantuan to me). The fort is 3 feet high, 5 feet long and 3 feet wide. There’s a place in back (we call it the pantry) for crackers, grapefruit, avacadoes, potatoes, carrots, berries, and Spanish moss. The roof is made of 4 feet palm leaves and smaller fronds.

Shadow Fort Second, this fort is the first structure I ever built, with the help of my friend Kevin. We built it during a light shower. It was only a few vines that tangled together to make a kind of cave that we could crawl under. We worked fast to put palm fronds and leaves over the vines. “Quick! Let’s get inside!” I shouted to Kevin. We got inside in the nick of time. It began to rain powerfully, and oh how the wind blew! But our fort kept us safe and dry. Later we named it Shadow Fort because it sits in a shady area.

Shadow Fort Finally, Shadow Fort is my favorite place because it has everything we need. We keep food in the pantry, a small cot to sit on, and we even have a plywood door. We keep some books to read there too.

Shadow Fort Can you see why Shadow Fort is my favorite place? I hope so. When I’m there, I feel as happy as a cat with cream!

My Favorite Place to Go Do you have a favorite place to go-- a place with family, good weather, and fun things to do like crabbing? I’m glad I do. New Jersey is my favorite place for many reasons.

My Favorite Place to Go The first reason is my family. Over half of my family lives in New Jersey. When I visit, my cousins and I laugh and play all day and night. My uncles and aunts take me to the boardwalk where we ride tall, long coasters. We devour juicy caramel-covered apples and footlong hot dogs. My family is fun to be with.

My Favorite Place to Go The second reason for New Jersey being my favorite place is the weather. Instead of being hot and sweaty, it’s always cool and moist. When I think about my visits, I can just feel the crisp fall breeze in my hair. I can see the white, fluffy winter snow. I can just hear the soft spring trickles of rain splashing on the sidewalks. I can just feel the warm summer sun on my face. The weather is great!

My Favorite Place to Go The third reason for New Jersey being my favorite place is crabbing. If it’s crab season, we crab. We keep the blue crabs and the snow crabs, and we let the others go. Sometimes we catch crabs on hooks, and sometimes we lower crab cages into the bay. Then we pull them out later.

My Favorite Place to Go For all these reasons, New Jersey is my favorite place to go. If you don’t have a favorite place, I think you should search for one. It’s good to visit a favorite place—a place where you can make special memories. By the way, if you crab at your special place, be sure to get a big cage.
