PROCEDURAL TEXT

What Is a Procedural Text?
Basically, procedural texts are part of our daily life. They tell us how something is done through steps or actions. We often use procedural texts, even though we rarely realize it. The examples are when we follow the instructions of a recipe on television, read a manual on, how to turn on a CD player, do a simple scientic experiment, etc.

The structure of a procedural text
 Goal/purpose
Example: Let’s Make Your Own Aquarium Ecosystem
 Materials (precise information, how long, how many, what type).
Example: water plants, a bucket
 Steps: What to do
Example: Spread the gravels over base of the tank.

The characteristics of a procedural text
 The frame (commands, details, how, with what)
Example: Put the gravel in a net and pour a jug full of water on it.
 The covering (where, action verbs).
Example: Place the tank in bright light.


Example :
Goals/Purpose:
Let’s Make a Monster with Bright Eyes
Materials:
You will need : • 2 bulbs in bulb holders, 3 wires, a battery, coloured card, coloured paper, scissors, sticky tape, glue.

Steps :
1.Attach a wire to each of the screws on one bulb holder.
2.Connect the other end of one of these wires to the second bulb holder. Connect
your third wire to the other screw on the second bulb holder.
3.Connect the loose wires to the ends of the battery.
4.Cut the card into a monster face with two eye holes. Push the bulbs through the
holes in the back of the card. Tape the bulbs and the battery onto the back of the
card.
5.Turn the monster face around. Finish it by gluing on a paper mouth and nose. Watch
the eyes glow!

Answer based on example above!
1.What should you do to make a monster?
2.Where should you attach a wire?
3.Which tool should you connect to the second bulb holder?
4.What do you connect to the ends of the battery?
5.Where do you push the bulbs to?
6.Where should you tape the bulbs and the battery?

good luck
