Procedure
Procedures help/tell us to do a task or make something. They can be a set of instructions or directions e.g. step by step method to germinate seeds. The text below is an example of a procedure. The labels show the structure and language features of procedure text.
Procedures begin by outlining an aim or goal.
Sometimes there is a list of the materials and equipment needed.
The steps are then listed in order.
Writing procedures
When writing procedures you should:
• use present tense e.g. spray
• include technical terms when you need to e.g. friable
• use words that tell the reader how, when and where to perform the task e.g. fill, firmly.
Practice writing a procedure by writing instructions for someone else to:
• how to operate computer
• make a banana smoothie
• use a microscope
• your choice.
Write a draft using the procedure sample as a model.
This sample procedure is labeled to show you the structure and language features of a procedure text.
