Choose a familiar topic. Consider choosing something that demonstrates expertise in a subject, such as "How to Change a Flat Tire in 10 Minutes or Less," or "How to Change a Flat Tire on a Ford Mustang" rather than just "How to Change a Flat Tire."
Write a brief overview or introduction that presents the topic of the procedure.
Construct a sentence, or paragraph, that lists the tools necessary to complete the task. The details of locating and gathering the specific tools might be the first step.
Consider all the sequential steps that follow, and write them down in the correct order.
Allow each step to form its own paragraph. Add any necessary details.These procedural steps form the structure (in free standing paragraphs), the "body" of the essay.
Write a concluding paragraph, usually two to three sentences in length, that gently points back to the introduction and the procedure accomplished. A final comment of how difficult, or easy, the task was adds a finishing stroke to the concluding paragraph.
Proofread for spelling or other grammar errors, and make necessary corrections.
Check that all steps and details of the process have been included. Revise if necessary.
