Expository essays necessitate the writer to give information, explain a topic, or define something. Expository essays are therefore best written using facts and statistical information, cause and effect relationships, or examples. Because expository essays are factual, they are typically written without emotion. Expository essays are usually written in the third person, and the thesis statement of an expository essay is well defined and narrow.

Even though expository essays aren't persuasive in nature, it's still best if you pick a topic that interests you. Direct Essays has a large collection of expository essay topics at all levels of writing skill.
