Example of an Explanation text:

The Lifecycle of a Frog

Frogs are amphibians. First, the mother frog lays her eggs in the water. This is called frog spawn.  Next, the eggs hatch into tiny tadpoles. During this time, they grow gills to help them breathe. Then, they grow two back legs. Later, they grow two front legs. Afterwards, the tadpole looks like a frog but it has a tail. This is  called a froglet. Finally, the froglet loses its tail. Now, it is a frog!
