Today,
we are going to start our procedural writing assignment.
We use procedural
texts to help explain how to do something, get somewhere, or explain the rules
to something.Examples of procedural
texts are found in: recipes, game instructions, recording a scientific
experiment, directions to locations, etc. Instructions in procedural texts are
often short, simple and to the point.Procedural texts are written in the present tense (now).
Parts of a Procedural Text
Title – What is the goal or outcome of the activity?
Materials or Ingredients – What do you need to complete the
activity?
Series of Steps – In chronological order, list what needs to
happen for you to reach your goal or optimum outcome.
Conclusion – You may want to offer advice or tips to make
the task easier.Things that you may
have learned along the way.
