Procedure Text

Procedure text is designed to describe how something is achieved through a sequence of action or steps.

It explains how people perform different processes in a sequence of steps.
This text uses simple present tense,often imperative sentences.
It also usually uses rhe temporal conjuction such as first,second,then,next,finally,etc.

The structure of this text consist of 3 parts:
~ goal (or title),
~ materials (not required for all procedural text),
~ steps.

However,there is procedural text that only consists of goal and followed by some steps.
The purpose of recount text is to tell how to make or operate something step by step.

How to take your pulse = steps.

A timer or watch with a second hand = material.

1. Hold your left hand in front of you with your palm up = step.
2. Place the first there fingertips of your right hand on the inside of your left wrist in the groove below the base of the thumb.
You may need to move your hand around slightly before you can feel the pulse = steps.
3. Use the timer to count the number of times your
hearts beats in the minute = steps.
