HOW TO WRITE A PROCESS
    ANALYSIS ESSAY
WHAT IS A PROCESS
            ANALYSIS ESSAY?

 It is an essay by which a writer explains step by step how
   something is done or how to do something.
THE FORMS IT CAN TAKE

 Process analysis writing can take one of two forms: (1)
it can provide information about how something works
(informative) or (2) it can explain how to do something
(directive).
DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF!

 Don’t limit yourself to the standard five paragraph essay. Make
your essay as long as it needs to be to get your point across. You want
to be able to expand your writing and use a lot of description!
BE ENTHUSIASTIC!

You want to engage your reader and
make them want to keep reading more!

No one wants to read a boring essay!
TOPIC EXAMPLES

 How to make a banana split

 How to bake a cake

 How to break up with someone

 How to brush your teeth

 How to ________? YOU fill in the blank!
WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT

 Write about something that you are familiar with… You do not
want to have to research anything. This essay is coming from your
own knowledge and experience!
KEEP YOUR AUDIENCE IN
         MIND

For example, if you are writing about how to
drive a car, your reader may not even know how to
turn the car on. It is important to take the reader
step by step how to do it! Don’t assume the reader
already knows!
