Process DescriptionIt is a sequence of events.It does not tell the reader what to do; rather, it describes how
As a general description of how a process
happens, step by step.
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.
