We have been working on Explanation writing in class. Here are some features of an explanation piece of writing.
to start of with there is an intro which explains and introduces the subject.
this includes:
formal language
lots of connectives
subheadings
complex connectives
detailed but understandable language
diagrams or photos are sometimes used
a conclusion to sum up the explanation
about 3-6 paragraphs
