new skills #1 INFORMATIVE TEXT
1. It educates the readers about a topic or subject.
2. It is made using credible sources as evidence- facts, statistics, and other research data.
3. It usually answers five (5) WH’s questions: who, where, when, what, and why. Sometimes,
describe “how” to do or accomplish something.
4. It focuses on a specific topic, not a topic that is too broad nor too narrow.
5. Informative texts follow a structure – the introduction, body, and conclusion.

PARTS OF INFORMATIVE TEXT


1.The introduction
Grabbing the attention of readers is part of the beginning - formally known as the introduction. It is w
the thesis statement is found. The thesis statement is considered the most essential part of informa
writing. According to Kristina Barroso in her article “Informative Writing Techniques”, the thesis state
is known as the road map of an informative text because the whole essay is built around it. The the
sentence is a sentence that summarizes the entire essay. Aside from stating the thesis statement, w
introduce the main idea, provide definitions for difficult words/concepts, and give a short description
what will be discussed.

2. The body
The body or the middle part is where the thesis statement is fully explained. Evidence such as facts
statistics, statements from experts, and other supporting details are found in this section. This sectio
requires citing sources of information. The evidence presented will be the basis if the information is
reliable, accurate, and unbiased.

3.The conclusion
The conclusion reiterates the thesis statement and summarizes the main points of the informative te

Tone, clarity (being clear), and transition words.

Aside from the structure, other features, and techniques of informative writing need to be considere
First is the tone or attitude of the author toward the topic. The attitude of the author toward the topic
should always be formal, objective, and neutral.

As mentioned above, informative writing is fact-based - biased information is unacceptable. The wri
opinion and beliefs do not have a place in informative writing.
Second, always be specific. Provide clear answers to the five Ws and one H of the topic you are wr
about. Employ language that is clear, formal, and unbiased. Also, do not forget to use transitional w
(discussed in previous modules) for an organized and smooth flow of ideas. In doing so, readers ca
a better understanding of the information they read.

Informative essays vary in length, but all good informative pieces are a product of an application of
several writing techniques.

Below are some of the best tips/techniques to help you write an excellent informative text.

1. Open with an attention grabber and conclude with a summary of the main points of the essay.
2. Use appropriate transitional words to ensure the logical flow of ideas.
3. Observe formal tone.
4. Utilize proper language and applicable vocabulary to the topic. Similarly, avoid biased language.
5. Make use of formatting, nonlinear texts such as flowcharts, graphs, graphic organizers, and digita
texts with hyperlinks when needed.
E. Discussing Question:
new concepts *Do you think these techniques will help you become an effective informative writer or
and practicing researcher?
new skills #2 Now, check out this example of an informative essay, and try to analyze if the aforementioned techn
were used in this writing.
This essay is probably way shorter than most informative essays, but does it comply with the prescr
structure and conventions in informative writing? Does it comply with the guidelines and techniques

 It started with a relatable scenario and ended with a repeat of the thesis statement.
 It utilized transitional words such as ‘however, first, second, next, after, lastly.’
 The tone is generally formal, but it becomes conversational in parts where the essay shifts
second-person point of view.
 The language used is simple and appropriate for the target audience – students.
 There aren’t any graphics or visuals, but they are not necessary considering the length of th
essay and the topic. However, in online platforms, this essay could be presented in a bullet
with and with other nonlinear texts.

Informative writing plays a vital role not only in the academic world but also in the real world. It is a
so essential that it can affect your grades and future job opportunities. Becoming an effective writer
easy, but it pays to be one.
