Since I began teaching the course, the scope of expository texts has exploded. Truly, there is expository writing on almost any topic, subject, hobby, interest and disposition. That is why I seem so tentative so far--there is so much good writing to explore and share! As stated in our Academic Procedures, each week you will find
YOUR OWN individual Expository Text of the Week. You may choose from Magazine Articles and Op-Eds or Commentaries; Podcasts or Editorials, or an occasional movie/film (provided that you viewed it recently). To help guide you, here are some resources, likes and places you might want to check out as you begin your journey.
