Whether you're writing an essay on a complex subject or a simple topic, these examples will inspire titles, provide essay structure ideas, and offer guidance on delivering information clearly and concisely.

An informative essay is an essay that is written expressly for the purpose of giving the reader information about a topic.  Also known as expository or informational essays, informative essays are intended to be free from bias.  In contrast to persuasive or argumentative essays, where the writer is trying to convince the reader to adopt an opinion or perspective on the topic, in an informative essay the writer’s only goal is to make sure that the reader finishes the essay better-informed about a topic than when he or she began reading the essay.

The key to writing an informative essay is to know your topic.  You cannot teach the reader about a topic that you do not understand.  Therefore, subject selection plays a significant role in informative essay writing.  Ideally, you want to choose a topic that you already know well; when that is not an option, you want to choose a topic that you find interesting and that will be easy for you to research, so that you can teach your reader about the topic.

One of the drawbacks of informative essays is that they need to be free-from bias.  Writers often find themselves slipping into a persuasive-writing mode.  However, losing objectivity can really weaken your informative essay.  Before including information in your informative essay, you need to ask yourself if it is objectively verifiable. 

You probably have experience writing informative essays; most modern K-12 writing programs emphasize expository writing.  However, if you want to see how to elevate basic expository writing to college-level informative essays, our example essays are a great way to start.
