                             How to Write a Process Paragraph 

          Writing a process paragraph, which is also called a How To,  Directions, or Instructions paragraph, is easy to do if you follow certain steps.  First, the most important thing to think about as you write the paragraph is that you are describing steps in a process, explaining to the reader how to make or do something. For example, you might write a paragraph about how to ride a bicycle or how to make a decoration for a party. Second, every process involves following steps in order to correctly do or make it, so you need to use signal words to help the reader follow the process. For example, you will write about the steps using signal words like first, then, after that, next, and so on, to show the reader the order of the steps. Finally, the body of your paragraph begins with the first step of the process, which is to gather any materials and tools that you will need. For example, if you are writing about "How to Change the Oil in a Car" your first step will be to describe the things that you need to have before you change the oil, such as tools, several quarts of new oil, a new oil filter, a pan to drain the old oil into, and so on. In conclusion, writing a good process or "How To" paragraph isn't hard if you describe the steps one by one, use the correct signal words, and begin with the first step of gathering the tools and materials you will need for the process.
