2. Most Essential Learning Competencies: • Use appropriate reading strategies to meet one’s purpose (e.g., Scanning, skimming, close reading, etc .)

3. Short Review Last week we talked about different types of texts. We learned that they are called Narrative , Expository, Explanation, Recount or Persuasive and we focused on types of text that involved telling a story – sometimes they were factual, they actually happened (recounts) and some of them were fictional, made up, imaginary (narratives).

4. Today we are going to focus on types of texts that give us information – Expository Texts and Explanation texts.

5. Look at these headings taken from textbooks and decide whether they are Expository or Explanation text types – give reasons for your answers. Title Explanation or Expository? Reason How Does Rain Happen? 2. Tornadoes, Cyclones and Hurricanes 3. Japan 4. Why the Dinosaurs Became Extinct

6. With a partner, work out 3 types of information you would expect to find in a text called Tornadoes, Cyclones and Hurricanes and write them on your worksheet. Topic Type of Information Tornadoes, Cyclones and Hurricanes 1. 2. 3.

7. Possible answers: Definitions of tornadoes, cyclones and hurricanes; differences between them; how they formed; how they are named ; features of tornadoes, cyclones and hurricanes; big ones from the past; damage from cyclones, hurricanes etc.

8.  Expository texts like Information Reports usually have 2 major components: 1. A definition of the topic or thing, sometimes called a CLASSIFICATION. 2 . Paragraphs for the each of the various aspects of the topic or thing. Some Expository/Information Reports may have a third feature – a conclusion, usually in the form of a general statement about the topic or thing. It’s not always there though because the main thing about these types of texts is to give you a lot of organized information on the topic but not always an opinion about it.
