Write a paragraph to complete a sample expository essay. Then review your paragraph and the essay as
a whole and make changes where needed to ensure that the style is appropriately formal.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
• A freewriting exercise that shows how you developed your ideas for filling in a gap in an existing
expository essay
• A body paragraph built from the freewriting exercise
• Evidence of editing for a formal style; this includes making big-picture edits, as well as more detailed
proofreading
You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one. If you haven't done
so, go back and complete that activity now.
