An informative essay educates your reader on a topic. It can have one of several functions: to define a term, compare and contrast something, analyze data, or provide how-to instruction. It does not  present an opinion or try to persuade your reader.

Write an informative essay that does the following:

• Clearly informs the reader about a topic without presenting your opinion.

• Correctly uses required style (MLA) to organize and format the essay, and to create in-text citations and a Work Cited.

• Cites research from academically reliable sources following your instructors guidelines. 

• Includes a properly developed introduction and conclusion.

• Is grammatically correct with few errors in spelling or mechanics.

NOTE: For specific requirements (i.e. - formatting style, number of pages, etc.) follow your instructor's guidelines.
