This document provides instructions for writing a process analysis essay. It explains that a process analysis essay aims to either instruct how to do something or explain how something occurs or occurred. The essay should divide the whole process into stages, arrange them in chronological or spatial order, and explain any key terms. Each stage should include several supporting details and may include an optional concluding sentence. The introduction should include a hook, background information, and thesis statement about the process. The conclusion should restate main points and provide a final comment evaluating, recommending, or warning. Overall, the writing should use straightforward sentences, present or past tense, and time or sequence indicators.
