Procedure Text

A procedure text generally has a generic structure as follows :

• Title,
• Classification or Definition
• Description of Features in order of importance,
• List of Materials (optional), and
• Series of steps sequenced in logical order

Some sociocultural functions of Procedure text are to give instructions, to give cautions, and to tell time sequences. For instructions and cautions, the language features which are often used are imperative verbs, while sequencers like first, next, then and finally are often used for the time sequences. Sometimes procedure text is also provided with diagrams, flow charts, or ilustrations.
