Understanding Procedure Texts and their Structure

Procedure texts are instructional pieces of writing that explain how something works or how to perform a specific activity. They typically consist of three main definitions: texts that explain how to use something, texts that provide instructions for a particular activity, and texts that address human behavior. These texts follow a generic structure that includes the goal, materials needed, and step-by-step instructions to achieve the desired outcome. The language used in procedure texts often includes simple present tense and imperative sentences to convey actions and commands clearly. An example of such a text is "How to Make Stuffed Baked Potatoes."
