Reflection on Expository piece

The expository piece on discrimination was quite beneficial and informative during my writing process. It enabled me as a writer, to be fully engaged with my device when constructing this piece. The use of technology assisted me immensely as I searched the internet for pertinent information on the topic and the ability to select the most appropriate content for the topic being explained.

As an educator I therefore, see the advantage of incorporating this exercise within the classroom experience, whether my students prefer the traditional writing process or the digital writing process in creating their expository piece. It is significant that they incorporate the steps in the writing process, which will be crucial in accomplishing this task. Also  the insurmountable joy they will experience after they have completed the task and are given the opportunity to share within their community of writers.

On the other hand by using expository within the classroom environment it encourages students to actively engage and ask questions as they search for information on the topic, students are therefore aware of components of an expository piece compared to a narrative or argumentative. As a result the exposure to these pieces broadens their reading and writing abilities   and allows them a greater appreciation to these types of writing. Lastly, this activity assisted me in identifying some of the challenges my students may have encountered.  Also  how to greatly assist them during this process, as an educator it is my job to guide my students and share my experiences as I try to build a community of independent writers.
