Step 2: Write an introduction
Briefly summarize the process

Step 2: Write an introduction
The diagram illustrates the
process of recycling plastic
bottles.
Step 3: Write an overview
In this section, you need to
highlight the main features of the
process without going into detail.
You should mention:
- The number of steps in the
process.
- The key elements or major
changes.
Step 3: Write an overview
Overall, the process involves five
distinct stages, starting with the
collection of bottles and
culminating in the production of
new products.
Step 4: Details
- Break the process into logical
stages and describe each step.
- Use linking words such as
"First", "Then", "Next", "After
that", "Finally" to indicate the
sequence between steps.
- Be sure to describe in detail and
accurately, using the correct
tense (usually the present
simple).
Step 4: Details

and taken to a recycling center.
Step 4: Details

such as "filter", "melt",
"compress", "transform", etc.
- Be sure to use the passive voice
frequently in your descriptions as
this is an effective way to
describe processes:
Step 5: Use vocabulary and grammar
"The bottles are collected"

Editor's Notes

  • #25 Activity 33 If your students need a reminder of any of the steps of process writing, you may want to hand out Process Writing Worksheet (provided towards the end of this lesson plan) and review them together. Read Activity 33 aloud. Explain that a negative effect is an effect that is not good, or a harmful effect. Say ‘Now you’re going to plan your writing. You already know your topic—the negative effects of stress. Your next step is Prewriting. You’ll need to identify negative effects of stress. These will be your categories. Then you’ll need to give an example of each negative effect.’ After students have finished their Prewriting, have them work on their first drafts. After students have finished their first drafts, have them review their writing and think about their ideas and organization. Have each student consider the following. How does the draft sound? Is the topic of the essay clearly identified? Does each paragraph tell about a different negative effect of stress? Does each paragraph give an example of a particular negative effect of stress? Is the essay organized using introductory phrases? What needs more work? Have students consider elements of style, such as sentence variety, parallelism, and word choice. Then have them proofread for mistakes in grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. Publishing includes handing in writing pieces to the teacher, sharing work with classmates, adding pieces to a class book, displaying pieces on a classroom wall or in a hallway, and posting on the Internet.
  • #26 Ask ‘Does anyone have a dog for a pet? What are some things you do with your dog?’ (go for a walk, play catch, teach the dog how to obey) Ask ‘How does having a dog make you feel?’ (happy, excited, relaxed) Say ‘Suppose your friend is thinking about getting a dog. You want to explain why you think she should get a dog.’ Ask ‘What are some reasons to get a dog for a pet?’ (to learn how to take care of an animal, to have a pet to play with, to protect you) As students respond, write their reasons on the board. Say ‘Suppose you want to write down your ideas about owning a dog. In your writing, you can tell about the different reasons to own a dog. This kind of writing is called a classification essay.’
