Let’s Understand
EXPOSITORY TEXT is defined as an informational text that provides the

readers factual information about a certain topic. Expository texts differ in other
types of text in a way that it’s main purpose it to provide readers educational
information based on facts and reality. It’s content is purposeful, concise and
organized writings of any concepts.
There are books and other references that contain information presented
following the structures in writing expository texts. These are:
1. Encyclopedia- it contains information about different topics from letters A-
Z.
2. Atlas- this informative material provides the reader maps of different
countries, cities, states or regions.
3. Almanac- it is an annual application of forecast about the weather and
climate.
4. Textbook- it is a comprehensive compilation of topics or branches in a
study.
5. Cookbook- it contains different recipes.
Activity: Where to Find
Directions: Read each situation carefully and identify the book or reference that
can provide the needed information. Write your answer on the blank before each
number.
______________1. Ana wants to look for the ingredients for carbonara. What
informative material will she be needing?
______________2. Andrea is curious about the weather in other countries. What
will she be needing?
______________3. Roy wants to learn about the geographic aspect of South

______________4. Kathrine wants to look for the topics in all subjects. What does

______________5. Nico wants to look for one topic about Science. What does he

An expository text is different from the free writing of any topic under the
sun. It strictly follows a specific structure. Each structure is accompanied by a
graphic organizer that can be presented in graphs, tables, charts, diagrams and
timelines.
The following are the structures used in writing an expository text.
1. Cause and Effect- one of the structures used in writing an expository text
that provides the reader facts, ideas or timeline that acts as a cause and
the other one is the effect.
2. Problem and Solution- another structure of expository text that has a
problem with lots of solution to solve this problem.
3. Description- this structure of expository texts used mostly descriptive
words to describe the attributes or characteristics of a certain topic, idea
or concept.
4. Compare and contrast- ideas presented show how certain things or ideas
are alike or different.
5. Sequence- ideas or information that are chronologically arranged or in
sequence or order.
Graphic organizers are visual or graphic representation of ideas,
information or concepts that are interrelated with each other. The most
frequently used graphic organizers are the Venn Diagram, which is usually
used to show the similarities and differences of a certain idea, the timeline,
which is used to show sequence of events with indication of date and time, and
the flow chart, which is used to present a flow of an action, method or
procedure.
Take a look at the sample graphic organizers below:
1. Venn Diagram 2. Flow chart
3. Graph

4. Table 5. Timeline
Let’s Apply
Now that you have learned about the different structures in writing an
expository text, examples of texts and the graphic organizers, you need to apply
what you have learned by constructing your own graphic organizer.
Activity: Organize Me
Directions: Create a graphic organizer for each given idea.
A. cat and dog

Show the similarities and differences.
B. old normal to new normal transition in NCR

Create a timeline of the transition in NCR from before, during and after
lockdown.

C. everyday routine
Detail your normal one day routine during ECQ in a chart.
Let’s Analyze
Complete the graphic organizer by identifying the text structure used in

each sample text.
Sample Texts Text Structure
NCR has become a region with the most positive

cases of COVID-19 in the country because of the
negligence of the people that lives there. Most of
them do not follow the safety protocols by DOH and
government that’s why the NCR became the
epicenter of COVID-19 in country.
There are lots of beautiful sceneries that can be

found in the Philippines. From the rich and
abundant culture of Filipinos down to its
sumptuous delicacies as well as to the breath-
taking beaches and tourist spot. Just recently, the
island of Palawan has been hailed as the most
beautiful beach in the world.
With the increasing number of positive cases of
COVID-19 in the country, it is going to be better if
the people are going to be more responsible. People
must always follow the safety tips by the DOH and
the government. They must wear face masks, do
social distancing, stay at home and don’t go out
when it’s not necessary.

COVID-19 can be interfered as well to Spanish
Influenza in 1918. Both are pandemic and make an
impact to millions or billions of people around the
world. But unlike COVID-19 that affects the whole
world or the countries in every continent, Spanish
Influenza affected just majority of the people in the
Europe and America.
When you go out, make sure that you are going to

follow safety tips from the DOH and the
government. First one, don’t forget to wear mask.
Sanitize you hands at all time. Do physical
distancing to other people in the community. Then
when you go back at your respected homes, make
sure that you are going to take a bath or make
yourself clean again from viruses that brought by
going out.
