INFORMATIVE
WRITING
An informative text educates readers about a topic or
subject. It is meant to inform others using credible
sources as evidence – facts, statistics, and other
research data. Informative texts usually answer the
five Ws: who, where, when, what, and why.
Sometimes, they also describe “how” to do or
accomplish something.
STRUCTURE
The introduction Grabbing the attention of readers is part of the
beginning - formally known as introduction. It is where the thesis
statement is found.
The body or the middle part is where the thesis statement is fully
explained.
The conclusion reiterates the thesis statement and summarizes the

main points of the informative text.
TONE, CLARITY (BEING CLEAR) AND
TRANSITION WORDS
The attitude of the author toward the topic should always

be formal, objective, and neutral. As mentioned above,
informative writing is fact-based - biased information is
unacceptable. The writer’s opinion and beliefs do not
have a place in informative writing.
TONE, CLARITY (BEING CLEAR) AND
TRANSITION WORDS
Second, always be specific. Provide clear answers to

the five Ws and one H of the topic you are writing
about. Also, do not forget to use transitional words
for organized and smooth flow of ideas.

EXAMPLE
How to Email your Teachers
The new normal has limited face-to-face interactions, which is why people shifted
to sending emails and chats to transact business. This also has become the set-up even
in the educational setting; teachers, learners, and parents communicate with one
another through chat or email.
However, while this medium is more efficient, this could disrupt the
communication process especially if the message is not clearly and coherently. The
learner may not be aware that emails and chats are also formal correspondence and
ends up sending friendly and informal messages to his teachers. The result? Seen-
zoned messages, without reply. To avoid miscommunication, follow these email tips,
rules, and examples outlined by educator Katie Azevedo.
First, enter a subject line (for email). This tells the receiver if the message is
important, urgent, work-related and whatnot. Secondly, use a proper greeting or
salutation just like you do in business letters. Next, introduce yourself by stating
your name and your class or section. This is necessary since teachers have
hundreds of students to attend to.
After these preliminaries state your concern, preferably by starting with an
overview sentence. Keep it short and simple, and remind yourself to use
appropriate language; jokes, sarcasm, and emojis are not necessary. Lastly, thank
your teacher and close out the email or chat. Remember not to demand an
immediate reply.
These tips and rules send a message that you only mean business; hence you
are likely to get the answers you are seeking. This is not just a school-skill; this
will be applicable even when you will be applying for a job or when you are
emailing or sending chats to your boss.
Emails and chats are indeed an effective and efficient forms of
communication, especially if done correctly, simply, and respectfully.
