The number one mistake students make on an assignment is mistaking audience.
They believe the audience to be the professor, who does not need much
explained. Specify the audience you have in mind-classmates? A wonderful
exercise is to ask students to write something for one audience and then
re-write it for another, or change form/mode but use the same idea or
material.
