Chapter 5: Process What Is Process?  Process Writing explains how to do something or describes how something is done. There Are Two Types of Process Paragraphs: A directional process explains how to do something. A word like you is used, or the word you is implied.  Example: You need a good paint brush to get started. Begin by making a list of art supply stores. (The you in the last sentence is implied.) An informational process explains how something happens or how something is completed. Words like I, we, he, she, they, or a person’s name may be used.  Example: Anastasia needed a good paint brush to get started. First, she created a list of the local art supply stores. Page 104

Chapter 5: Process What Is Process? A Process Involves Steps in Time Order Whether a process is directional or informational, it describes something that is done in a series of steps. The Steps are in specific order : a time order: Minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or even years.  For example, changing a tire may take minutes, but losing 10 pounds may take months. This sentence signals a process: Learning to search the internet is easy if you follow a few simple directions. This sentence does not signal a process: There are several ways to get a person to like you. Pages

Chapter 5: Process What Is Process? Hints for Writing a Process Paragraph In choosing a topic, find an activity you know well. Choose a topic that includes steps that must be done in a specific time sequence. Choose a topic that is fairly small. A complicated process cannot be effectively covered in one paragraph. Write a topic sentence that makes a point. Include all of the steps. Place the steps in the correct order. Use specific details and steps. Page

Chapter 5: Process Writing the Process Paragraph in Steps Prewriting: Gathering Ideas Choose a topic that can be clearly covered in one paragraph. You can gather ideas by listing or freewriting. Creating the Topic Sentence In a process paragraph, the topic sentence states what process you will be explaining and what readers will be able to do or understand after they have read the paragraph. Pages

Chapter 5: Process Writing the Process Paragraph in Steps Planning: Devising a Plan Using the freewriting and topic sentence, you can write an outline. Decide which steps and which details your reader will need to make in order to complete or understand the process. Write the steps in chronological order. Checklist for revising the outline: Is my topic sentence focused on some point about the process? Do I have all the steps? Are they in the right order? Have I explained the process clearly? Do I need more specific details? Pages

Chapter 5: Process Writing the Process Paragraph in Steps Drafting: Drafting and Revising When you are revising, check to see if you have used transitions—words, phrases, or sentences that connect ideas. By using transitions, you can make your writing smoother and the content clearer. Transitions: after, afterward, as, as soon as, as your are, at last, at the same time, before, begin by, during, eventually, finally, first, second, first of all, gradually, in the beginning, immediately, initially, last, later, meanwhile, etc. See page 115 for more transitions.

Chapter 5: Process Writing the Process Paragraph in Steps Drafting: Drafting and Revising After completing the outline, you can write the rough draft. Checklist for revising the draft: Does the topic sentence cover the whole paragraph? Does the topic sentence make a point about the process? Is any important step left out? Should any step be explained further? Are the steps in the right order? Should any sentences be combined? Have I used the same person throughout the paragraph to describe the process? Have I used transitions effectively? Pages
