Students could use this format to write their essay and actually feel like they are becoming the expert on the topic they are choosing. Their work could be published in a secure location on the web for you or their classmates to view and comment on. In addition to just words, they have the capability to post links to supporting sites or to include pictures to aid with description.
I will post some links to some sites that you could use to set this up. I am also working on developing a template that you could use with your students if you don't have time to go to the computer lab. You could frame this lesson as learning about blogs and then later use that to tell them how sneaky you were and they now know how to write an expository essay.
