Planning and Developing Your Expository Essay
In this activity, you will plan, draft, and revise an expository essay on a topic related to how humans interact with nature. Remember that your essay will be a response to the unit's guiding question: What is our place in nature?

TIP: As needed, refer to the instruction and examples of expository writing techniques in the previous slides and in the Lesson Activities from previous lessons in this unit. If you completed any graphic organizers throughout this unit, you may use them while planning and developing your essay.

Part A – Plan Your Expository Essay
First, plan how you’ll organize and structure your expository essay. In the table, describe the details, information, and textual evidence you’ll include in each section of your essay. Include your plan for the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion of your literature analysis.​
