2. Explanatory Writing Lesson Plan #5
I. Understanding Explanatory Writing Methods
1. Observation, learning, and accumulating knowledge for explanatory writing.
a. Review explanatory texts: 'The Coconut Trees of Bình Định', 'Why Are Leaves Green?', 'Huế', 'The Nông Văn Vân Uprising', 'The Earthworm', and identify what knowledge these texts utilized?
Upon reviewing these texts, we see that they rely on scientific and practical knowledge.
b. How can one acquire this knowledge? What role do observation, learning, and accumulation play here?
To gain scientific knowledge, one must observe carefully.
Observation isn't just about looking; it's about identifying significant characteristics that distinguish one object from another in both form and content.
One must analyze the subject based on its features.
Learning and accumulating knowledge are crucial as they form the foundation for descriptive and scientific reasoning when presenting or explaining a subject.
c. Can imagination or reasoning provide the knowledge needed for explanatory writing?
Imagination and pure reasoning alone cannot provide the knowledge necessary for explanatory writing.
2. Explanatory Writing Methods.
There are 6 explanatory methods:
a. Definition and explanation method.
This method identifies the subject of the text and highlights its distinct characteristics.
In sentences using this method, the word “is” is often used to provide information about the subject.
For example, saying 'Nông Văn Vân is a leader of the Tay ethnic group' explains who Nông Văn Vân is.
b. Enumeration method.
This method lists various related items to illustrate the distinctive features of the subject.
In the section about Bình Định's coconut trees, the benefits of the tree—from its trunk to its leaves and coconut water—are listed to show how it impacts daily life.
Similarly, in the discussion of plastic packaging's dangers, the method lists its environmental impacts, such as its effects when buried in soil or disposed of improperly.
c. Example method.
Using examples is a common and persuasive explanatory technique. The examples should be objective and well-organized to be effective.
The article on 'Epidemic Diseases and Cigarettes' uses examples of campaigns in various countries to combat smoking, including the punishments for smoking in public places.
d. Data and statistics method.
This method is used when the characteristics of the subject can be quantified.
The textbook provides statistics on the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air to highlight the role of plants in absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, emphasizing the importance of planting trees in cities.
e. Comparison method.
Comparison is widely used to highlight differences in features and characteristics of subjects.
The textbook compares the vast size of the Pacific Ocean to other oceans, noting that it is 14 times larger than the Arctic Ocean.
f. Classification and analysis method.
This method is applied when dealing with complex subjects with multiple elements that need to be categorized for clearer presentation.
To describe Huế, the method divides the city's characteristics into sections: cultural and artistic center, natural beauty, famous architecture, diverse cuisine, heroic history, and poetic reputation.
II. Practice.
1. The author of 'Epidemic Diseases and Cigarettes' conducted extensive research on smoking from a scientific perspective:
How does smoke affect the lungs? Smoking harms not only the smoker but also those exposed to secondhand smoke, including unborn children. Smoking also disrupts family meals.
In summary, the article demonstrates the serious research of a doctor addressing this issue.
2. The article uses several methods to present the issue:
-Comparison.
-Contrast.
-Use of statistics.
-Analysis of the harms.
3. Reading the explanatory text 'Ngã Ba Đồng Lộc', we see that it employs the following methods:
-Definition and explanation: 'Ngã Ba Đồng Lộc is a crossroads...'
-Enumeration: The text lists the ages of the 10 girls and the number of bombs they faced, as well as their tasks and the times they were buried by bombs.
4. The classification method used by your class leader for identifying students who struggle academically is logical:
-Many students have not performed well.
-Some students have the potential to do better but are distracted by play.
-Some students face challenging family circumstances, often missing school.
-Some students come from lower-level backgrounds and take longer to grasp new material.
Each group of students should receive tailored support to address their needs.

B. How can we acquire this knowledge? What role do observation, learning, and accumulation play here?
C. Can imagination and reasoning help gather knowledge for writing an expository essay?
Answer:
A. 'The Coconut Tree of Binh Dinh' – Knowledge about objects
'Why Are Grass Leaves Green' and 'The Earthworm' – Scientific knowledge
'The Nông Văn Vân Uprising' – Historical knowledge
'Hue' – Social and cultural knowledge
B. To acquire these kinds of knowledge, it is necessary to observe, examine, study, and refer to resources. Observation, learning, and accumulating knowledge are crucial for effectively writing an expository essay.
C. Imagination and reasoning alone cannot provide sufficient, accurate knowledge to write an expository essay, which would lead to a lack of precision and persuasion.
2. Expository writing methods
A. Definition and explanation method
Read the following sentences and answer the question:
'Hue is one of the major cultural and artistic centers of Vietnam.'
'Nông Văn Vân is a leader of the Tay ethnic group, holding the position of the Tri-Chau of Bao Lac (Cao Bang).'
Question: In these sentences, what words are commonly used? After these words, how is knowledge provided? State the role and characteristics of the definition and explanation sentences in an expository text.
Answer:
The word 'is' is commonly found.
After 'is,' knowledge about the subject being discussed is provided.
Role and characteristics of definition sentences in expository writing:
Characteristics: Often appear at the beginning of a paragraph.
Role: Introduces the subject.
B. The listing method
Read the following sentences and paragraphs and explain how the listing method helps present the characteristics of the subject.
The coconut tree provides all its benefits to people: the trunk is used for troughs, leaves for roofing, shredded leaf stems for walls, old coconut stumps for cooking pots, coconut water for drinking, cooking fish, cooking meat, making soup, and making fish sauce.
(The Coconut Tree of Binh Dinh)
According to scientists, plastic packaging pollutes the soil, hindering plant growth and causing erosion in hilly regions. Plastic packaging thrown into drains causes blockages, increases the likelihood of flooding in cities during the rainy season, and causes mosquitoes to spread diseases. Plastic packaging washed into the sea kills marine life when consumed by animals...
(Earth Day 2000 Information)
Answer:
The author uses the listing method in the above sentences and paragraphs. The writer presents the characteristics of the subject in an orderly manner, helping the reader understand the subject more clearly and thoroughly.
C. The example method
Identify examples in the following passage and explain their effect on presenting punishments for smoking in public places.
Today, in developed countries, anti-smoking campaigns are widespread. Smoking is banned in all public places, and heavy fines are imposed on violators (In Belgium, since 1987, a first-time violator is fined 40 dollars, and repeat offenders are fined 500 dollars).
(The Tobacco Plague)
Answer:
Example: In Belgium, since 1987, violators are fined 40 dollars for the first offense and 500 dollars for repeat offenses.
This clear example makes abstract knowledge more concrete and easier to understand, resulting in higher persuasive power and building trust with the reader.
D. The numerical data method
What numerical data does the following passage provide? Without numerical data, can the role of grass in cities be effectively illustrated?
Scientists say that in the atmosphere, oxygen accounts for only 20% of the volume, while carbon dioxide accounts for 3%. Without replenishment, humans and animals will consume all the oxygen within 500 years, while carbon dioxide continues to increase. Why is oxygen still present today? It's due to plants. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis. One hectare of grass can absorb 900 kg of carbon dioxide and release 600 kg of oxygen every day. Therefore, planting trees and grass in cities is extremely important.
(Talking About Grass)
Answer:
The passage provides the following numerical data:
Oxygen accounts for only 20% of the atmospheric volume, while carbon dioxide makes up 3%.
In 500 years, humans and animals will deplete the oxygen supply.
One hectare of grass absorbs 900 kg of carbon dioxide and releases 600 kg of oxygen every day.
By using numerical data, the passage strengthens its credibility and persuasion. Without these figures, it would be impossible to clarify the importance of grass in cities.
E. The comparison method
In the following sentence, how is the comparison technique used, and what is its purpose?
The Pacific Ocean covers an area nearly equal to the combined size of the other three oceans and is 14 times larger than the Arctic Ocean, the smallest ocean.
Answer:
The comparison technique is used to compare the Pacific Ocean with the Arctic Ocean.
The purpose of this comparison is to highlight the Pacific Ocean's size.
The comparison technique helps emphasize and make the subject more tangible and understandable.
F. The analysis and classification method
In the text about Hue, how does the writer describe the features of the city?
Answer:
The characteristics of Hue are:
Hue's beauty is due to the harmonious combination of scenic landscapes and mountains.
Hue has famous architectural landmarks.
Hue is loved for its special products.
Hue is famous for its unique food.
Hue is a city of resilient fighters.
Classification divides the subject into categories based on certain criteria, while analysis breaks down the subject for closer examination.
Remember:
To write a good expository essay, the writer must observe, understand the subject, and grasp its essence and characteristics to avoid presenting irrelevant or unimportant details.
To make the essay persuasive and clear, various expository methods can be used together: defining, explaining, listing, providing examples, using numerical data, comparing, analyzing, and classifying...
Question 1: The author of the essay 'The Tobacco Plague' researched and explored extensively...
