Exposition & The 5 Paragraph Essay...

Hey STEaM Team,

      Nonfiction, perhaps more than any other type of writing, requires that you read critically.  Make judgements about what seems accurate, biased, or just plain wrong when reading a news storyor an editorial.  Try to discover a writer's intention when reading. 
The desire to know what's happening and what people think about it is a powerful motive for readers.        EXPOSITORY NONFICTION is factual and informative nonfiction writing.  Articles, news stories, and editorials are expository nonfiction.  You probably read some factual and informative writing every day, either on the internet or in a newspaper or magazine.
