	GS110.M1 Expository Writing Syllabus - Lakeland College - Mr. Kay
		This primary "aim" of exposition helps us to distinguish such writing, which focuses on 'the world,' from persuasive writing, which focuses on the reader, from expressive writing, which focuses on the writer, and from literary writing, which focuses on the beauty of the text itself.
		Yet the best expository writing often moves toward the other three, explaining to persuade a reader, to express personal passions, and to create beauty with our words.
		Good expository writing also results from a collaborative exchange between you and a written text, then between you and your peers.
