Explanatory texts go beyond simple descriptions to explore things like causes and reasons. They go beyond simply retelling what occurred, as in a simple report, to address the why and how of what occurred.
The purpose of a discussion text is to explore more than one point of view on a given subject in order to reach an informed opinion or to make a decision on an issue.
This text type endeavors to inform, instruct, or persuade through the use of facts and information.
