e. How to create a procedure text ; manual

1) Think logically and assume very little.
The challenge in writing a good procedural text is to deliver your instructions in a
logical manner. Ensure your instructions are straight to the point and that you as
the author understand what you are trying to achieve.
2) Points to consider before "proceeding"
What will you add to your written text to help the audience understand better?
(diagrams, illustrations, pictures etc.)
3) But What to Write About?
One of the things that make procedural texts an accessible writing genre for
students is one of the things that can also make it an uninspiring genre for
 students to engage in, that is, its factual, straightforward nature. There is a reason
why we don’t sit up all night reading user manuals! Entertaining the reader is not
the priority of a procedural text.
