The explanatory paragraph and essay often go by different names,
including the expository essay and the reason essay.
But they all have the same FORM.
The expository essay requires the student to investigate an idea, evaluate
evidence, expound on the idea, and set forth a conclusion.
It involves presenting evidence that the author explains and may or may not

The conclusion in an expository essay evaluates the evidence presented to
"prove" your conclusion.
Examples of expository essays are:
1. What effect does technology have on relationships?
2. Why do couples break up?
3. Why do I like vanilla ice cream?>
3. Why do I think my mother is the best mother in the world?
4. Why do I think Shohei Ohtani is the world's greatest baseball player?
Student writers often think of the most imporant reason first.
Because of that, you should reorder you reasons.
Reason 3 becomes reason 1.
Reason 1 becomes reason 3.
