How to WRITE AN INFORMATIVE ESSAY

 An informative essay serves to educate the readers by defining terms, comparing and contrasting ideas, and analyzing data. There is one thing to be remembered in writing this type of essay; A writer should not include his or her opinions nor try to persuade the readers. Therefore, this type of writing presents information in a very organized and interesting manner.

INTRODUCTION

One should always start with a thesis statement in order to help him or her organize ideas and most importantly to guide the reader through the essay with one general thought in mind.

The thesis statement is:

• a narrowed topic that the reader shall expect to learn from the essay.
• an introduction of the topic that shall be discussed in the essay.
• and should be provable.

Example:

• People should add exercise into their daily routine because it decreases the risk of high blood pressure and keeps the body at a healthy weight.
• Fairy tales can shed a negative impact on the psychology of young children.

HERE'S A SAMPLE INTRODUCTION

THE BODY

This is where you discuss your thesis statement into at least three(3) subtopics. 

In order to help organize your body, you can do CLUTCHING or MAPPING. You can do this by using WEB DIAGRAMS to show the possible ideas to be tackled.

THE CONCLUSION

Drawing a conclusion from the body is an equally important skill. You can write your conclusion by:

• Reword the thesis.
• Reiterate the significance of such knowledge.
• Provide relevant forecast for the future.
