Explanation Writing

WALT: write explanations
Success Criteria:

  • I create a good title. (I think about whether it would be a good idea to phrase the title as a question beginning with How… or Why….)
  • My introduction: gives a clear general statement which will be explained in the next paragraph(s) it may say why this matter is important/interesting or unusual
  • I include a series of steps (in a logical order) to explain how or why something happens. 
  • I continue to explain step-by-step until the final position is reached.
  • Where appropriate, I include: what you need; how it works; why it works; when and where it works; what it is used for
  • I include helpful diagrams/illustrations where appropriate
  • I include some description to give detail when appropriate to interest the reader and/or help them understand more clearly.


Topic: How does waste impact the environment and suggest ways in which we can help.
