Procedure Text

Procedure text is designed to describe how something is achieved through a sequence of actions or steps. It explains how people perform different processes in a sequence of steps. This text uses the simple present tense, often the imperative sentences. It also usually uses the temporal conjunctions, such as first, second, then, next, etc.

The structure of a procedure text consists of :
1. Aim/ goal (or title).
2. Materials (not required for all procedure texts).
3. Steps.
However, there is a procedure text that only consists of goal and followed by some steps.


Example :

THE BASIC OPERATION OF A DIGITAL CAMERA

You need :
1. a digital camera.
2. an object (a friend/ classmate or something interesting you can find around the classroom or school yard)

Follow the steps below to take pictures!
1. Hold up the camera and center the object in the LCD.
2. Move closer or use the zoom control for the result you want.
3. When you’re ready to take the picture, hold the shutter halfway. It is very important, so the camera sets the focus, shutter speed, and various other calculations. This may take a few seconds.
4. A light should appear that lets you know the camera is set to go.
5. Press shutter all the way down.
It may be necessary to turn off the LCD and use the view finder when there is extreme sunlight or to conserve battery life. The glare from the LCD does not work well with bright light..
