WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE
OF A PROCEDURE TEXT?
1. Goal

Every procedure text begins with a clear objective. This section sets the
stage by outlining what the reader aims to achieve. Without a well-
defined goal, readers might lose focus on what they’re trying to
accomplish.

Examples:
In a recipe: “Bake a moist chocolate cake.”
In a science experiment: “Demonstrate a chemical reaction using vinegar
and baking soda.”
A well-stated goal helps readers understand the purpose behind the
steps that follow.
2. Materials or Ingredients

Before diving into the steps, it’s essential to gather everything


you’ll need. This section lists the tools, equipment, or ingredients
required to complete the task efficiently.

Materials: For assembling furniture, materials might include


screws, a screwdriver, nails, or a hammer.
Ingredients: For cooking, this section lists the food items and
their measurements, just like a handy shopping list.
3. Steps
This is the heart of your procedure text. Here, you’ll break
down the task into clear, actionable instructions. Each step
should be written in a logical sequence, using concise and
straightforward language.

Tip: Use command-based sentences and keep instructions


easy to follow. The clearer the steps, the less room there is
for confusion.
