In three to five sentences, explain the purpose of informative/explanatory writing.

Informative writing means writing about a topic of your choice or you schools choice and writing facts and things that can inform people with your text. For example: if I was writing an information text about Thailand, I might include the tsunami that occurred in 2004 and talk about where the country is and the life style of how people are living in the country. You could also write their population and how they adapted to the problem about the tsunami. Hope this helps! :D
