AUTHOR’S CRAFT

Some ways a writer might be unique is to employ the following....

• Surprise • Suspense • Description

• Flashback • Flash forward • Full circle

• Fore-shadowing • Humor • Sarcasm

• Cliff-hangers • Absurdity

• Time lapsing-spacing

• Exploding the moment _ _extremely detailed writing_

Red Tails Take Manhattan – Distinguish Genres: Expository Writing

Seatwork- Thursday ___/ 10

Don't be afraid of the expository essay. Expository is just a fancy word that has to do with explaining a subject/topic. An expository essay, then, is a written explanation of a subject. The goal is to share information with the reader. It may be abstract or concrete in nature. That is, it may be about an idea (the U.S. system of checks and balances) or about a real take-a-photo-of-it subject (making a toothpick model of the Golden Gate Bridge).

 

Here is an example of expository writing. Read the passages and answer the questions that follow.

The Amazon River is in South America. It is the longest river in the world. In and around the Amazon River, you can find many animals. Some animals cannot be found anywhere else in the world. One of these animals is the piranha. Piranhas are a kind of fish. Piranhas are different from many other fish because that they eat meat. Piranhas have very sharp teeth. Their sharp teeth help them to eat many kinds of food. Piranhas eat seeds. They also eat other fish, birds, and snakes. Sometimes, piranhas will eat animals that fall into the water. Many people think that piranhas are dangerous. They think that piranhas will attack people. This is not true. Piranhas are small fish. They cannot eat a lot of food. Only a school of piranhas would eat a large animal. Even then, piranhas will not attack a healthy animal. People should not be afraid of piranhas.

QUESTIONS:

1) Where in the world can you find piranhas? ______________________________________

2) Piranhas are a kind of ______.

[pic]  Fish [pic] Snake [pic]  Monkey [pic]  Bird

Red Tails Take Manhattan – Distinguish Genres: Expository Writing

Seatwork- Thursday

Here is another example of expository writing. Read the passages and answer the questions that follow.

The Empire State Building is called a man-made structure. It was made by people. A structure is something that has been put together with many different parts. Structures are sturdy when the parts are put together correctly. Think for a moment about building blocks. Pretend you have a pile of building blocks. Your job is to use the blocks to build the tallest tower you possibly can. The tower you make will need to stand up straight without falling over. The building also must hold up to high winds. Blow on the side of your building. It should not fall over.

 

Building the Empire State Building was not easy. Many very smart people created a plan to follow. Workers were very organized and skilled. The word "structure" also means to organize something. Workers had to know exactly where large pieces of steel were to be placed. They did not want the building to fall. They also needed to know how many pieces of steel to use and how to hold the pieces together. The building is 102 stories tall. It has 9,000 sink faucets. It has 73 elevators. A crew of over 3,000 workers built this structure in 1930-31.

 

Making a structure is like working a huge puzzle. It takes time, a smart brain, and organization. When you look at a structure like the Empire State Building, know that people worked together and used their minds to build this amazing skyscraper. The Empire State Building is the tallest building in New York City. It is no wonder why it has been called the Eighth Wonder of the World. People stare at the Empire State Building and are amazed by its size and beauty.

The Empire State Building is located in ___________________________________.

In the passage, the author used an analogy to compare two things. Building structures is like ...

[pic]  Working together [pic]  Being organized

[pic]  Making a plan [pic]  Working a puzzle

How many more stories does the building have than it has elevators?

[pic]  39 [pic]  19 [pic]  29 [pic]  9

The Empire State Building is made out of children's building blocks.

[pic]  False [pic]  True

Structure also means to ________.

[pic]  Organize something [pic]  Show responsibility [pic]  Be smart [pic]  All of the above
