Looking for Examples of High-Quality Explanatory Essays
Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on an explanatory essay assignment for one of my college classes, and I’m finding it a bit tricky to figure out exactly what’s expected. I’ve read the guidelines, but I feel like seeing a few well-written examples would really help me understand how to structure my essay, what kind of evidence to include, and how to maintain an objective tone.
Does anyone know where I can find examples of high-quality explanatory essays? Ideally, I’m looking for essays that show clear thesis statements, logical organization, and strong support for their explanations. I’d appreciate samples from different subjects, too—whether it’s literature, social sciences, or even health topics.
Also, if you’ve written an explanatory essay before, I’d love to hear any tips you have about what worked for you or what to avoid. Are there any common mistakes that professors usually point out? How do you keep it explanatory without turning it into an argumentative or persuasive essay?
