What is it Not ● A set of directions ● An essay in which there is no need for style or tone ● A piece where every miniscule detail is explained
Step 1 ● ● Determine a topic Organize the steps in chronological order Make sure the steps work together in an unchangeable order All steps have to be clear
Step 2 ● ● Elaborate on each step Explain the purpose for each step Give any necessary warnings that relate to the steps Define any terms that the reader might not know
Step 3 ● Describe the tools or materials needed for the operation ● Provide a way to determine whether the reader was successful or not Ex. iron pickaxe, etc.
Step 4 ● Go back and edit grammar, style, and language ● Make sure your process analysis is engaging and professional
Things to Consider ● Think about who will be reading the piece ● Don’t assume that audience has any background knowledge about the topic ● Provide clear definition of each term ● Be specific for each detail ● Process analysis has the potential to be quite boring
