Procedure
Procedures help/tell us to do a task or make something. They can be a set of instructions or directions e.g. step by step method to germinate seeds. The text below is an example of a procedure. The labels show the structure and language features of procedure text.
Procedures begin by outlining an aim or goal.
Sometimes there is a list of the materials and equipment needed.
The steps are then listed in order.
