Deals with process and

procedures and is characterized by the detailing of a series of

steps.

INTRODUCTION

The introduction to the description of a

process is a comprehensive

answer to question. What are you

doing?

an answer to this question can be

given by answering still further questions

principally the following:

From what point of view is this process going to be consider in this discussion?

What are the chief steps in the process?

What is the process?.

Who perform the process?

Why is this process being described?

Why is the process perform?

It is not always

necessary to answer

all this question. It

will be helpful to

consider each

question in turn to

get some notion of

what needs to be

done.The question “ What is this process? Is simply a problem in definition and the

use of comparison and of generalized

description is often particularly helpful.

The introduction to a description of a process is followed directly by the description of the chief steps in the process. The organization of steps is chronological. For both the content and the organization of the description of each individual steps, there is one idea that is so useful that it cannot be easily overemphasized. The idea is that each individual step constitutes a process itself. The individual step should, therefore, be properly introduced and if necessary, divided into sub steps. The description is essentially a miniature of the description of the process as a whole. Furthermore, if a given individual step can broken down into substeps, each substep is treated according to the same general principles as the whole process.

Organization

ConclusionSometimes the reader needs help in matters like the following:

The last of the major

parts of the

description of a

process is naturally

the conclusion. It is

not always necessary

to write a formal

conclusion. Whether

one is desirable,

depends, of course, on

whether it will help the

reader.

Fixing the chief steps in mind.

Recalling special points about equipment or

materials.

Analyzing the advantages and

disadvantages of the process.

Noting how this process is related to other processes or other work that is

done, or reported on.

The purpose of what you are

describing

The basic principles involved.

The writer must analyze his own report and his intended reader to decide whether a conclusion is necessary.
