Expository Text Chart Reading and Writing

This can be used for reading and writing. This chart includes the definition of expository texts, its attributes, author’s purpose, and then left space for always, sometimes, never. Always, sometimes, never is a great strategy for deconstructing different types of texts. I use it at the beginning of every new unit and even in math. My husband teaches high school and I got the idea from him. It works for every grade! Here are some examples of ways to use it-
Expository is always informational, sometimes funny, and never poetry.
Quadrilaterals are always four sided, sometimes parallelograms, and never triangles.
