The Best Formula For Creating A Good Explanatory Essay

If you are writing an explanatory essay, you want to make sure that you pick a great topic, one which you can explain to the reader.

Students often encounter one of two situations with regard to their topic:

  • The teacher assigns the topic for you, or gives you a list from which to choose potential topics for your next assignment. These are topics that the teacher has already decided are worth writing upon and fit the assignment parameters. If this is the case you should be confident that any option on the list is a good one. Students who are writing an assignment for the first time often appreciate having their topic selected for them because it reduces the stress placed on them to select a topic themselves.
  • The student is able to select any topic they want so long as it fits within the confines of the job. In this scenario, the student is less constricted and able to select any topic. The teacher does not offer a list. When this takes place, it is best to come up with a list of potential ideas and run them by your teacher before you pick one. If you select one on your own, you can always ask your teacher if it is acceptable before you start writing. This will help you to make sure that your teacher likes the topic and that it is something feasible for your situation.

If you have the option of picking a topic yourself, then consider the following topics as potential ideas or at least a brainstorming tool:

  1. You can craft a paper that focuses on the effects that high soda consumption has on health
  2. You can write a paper that focuses on the effects that cyber terrorism has on a nation
  3. You can review the evolution that video games have endured over the last decade
  4. You can write about the decline of sales for tangible electronics with the rise of internet downloads
  5. You can review the role that a standing president has
  6. You can write about the accountability that teachers face
  7. You can write a paper that researches the environment of charter schools for administration, teachers, or students
  8. You can review what prison life is like in America’s for-profit prison system
  9. You can investigate the greenhouse effect and how the use of things such as LED lights has helped
  10. You can write a paper which reviews the political changes that have taken place in light of ISIS attacks
