What is an Exposition?

Exposition writing is used to put forward an argument or a particular point of view. Students are encouraged to share their thoughts on a

topic and support their ideas with clear reasoning. This genre of writing is often used in debates, persuasive essays, opinion pieces, and everyday arguments.

​

Understanding how to structure and express a persuasive point of view is a valuable life skill—and this poster helps break it down in a simple, student-friendly way.

 

Key Features of the Poster

The Exposition Writing Poster highlights the three main components of exposition writing, giving students a helpful framework to follow:

 

Purpose of an Exposition

The poster starts by explaining the main goal: to argue for or against something by presenting a personal viewpoint supported by reasons.

 

Structure of an Exposition

Students are guided through a clear and simple structure:

• Introduction: The point of view is clearly stated.

• Arguments: Each argument is justified and supported with examples or reasoning.

• Conclusion: A final summary reinforces the stated opinion.

This structure helps students organise their ideas logically and develop strong, well-supported arguments.

 

Language Features

To strengthen their writing, students are reminded to include:

• High Modality Words (e.g., must, always, definitely) to express strong opinions.

• Emotive Words (e.g., unfair, exciting, dangerous) to engage the reader’s emotions.

• Conjunctions that link ideas and explain cause and effect (e.g., because, therefore, so that).

These language features not only support the argument being made but also improve fluency and engagement.
