Effective expository papers generally are well organized and unified, in part because of fairly rigid guidelines that writers follow.
1.Each body paragraph of your paper should begin with a topic sentence, a statement of the main point of the paragraph.
2.In general, body paragraphs are between 6 and 12 sentences, and most expository essays have at least three body paragraph each (for a total of at least five paragraphs, including the introduction and conclusion.)
3.Support and Development of Ideas
The main difference between a convincing, insightful interpretation or argument and a weak interpretation or argument often is the amount of evidence than the writer uses. "Evidence" refers to specific facts.
