Expository Essay on Beowulf
An expository essay requires a central idea (or thesis statement/central argument) which is then fleshed out in the body of the essay. Your expository essay, therefore, needs to have: ? A central idea that is *clearly stated* in the introductory paragraph. ?A few key points in the body of the essay that support the fleshing out of the central idea. Remember that each paragraph should only contain *one point*. Each point has to be supported with evidence from the primary text. You are to include one or two references to secondary material. ?A conclusion that sums up your essay.
