Discussion forum of writing a process paragraph

WRITING: PROCESS PARAGRAPH (1) 

A process paragraph is a series of steps that explain how something happens. Or it explains how to make something. It can explain anything from the growth of a malignancy to parallel parking to baking sourdough bread. It gives tips for conquering insomnia or for removing nose hair. Because such explanations must be clear, the process paragraph must be written in chronological order, and it must include a topic sentence that clearly states the paragraphΓÇÖs purpose. It must also include transition words and phrasesΓÇöΓÇ£first,ΓÇ¥ ΓÇ£next,ΓÇ¥ ΓÇ£finally,ΓÇ¥ for exampleΓÇöthat connect each of the steps. 

There are two kinds of process paragraphs: a process explanation and a set of instructions. A process explanation explains a process without assuming that the reader will afterwards know how to carry out that process. A set of instructions gives the reader step-by-step guidance. 

                                                                   

 The following is an example of a process explanation paragraph: 

How I Deal With My NephewΓÇÖs Obsessions. 

Some years ago, my nephew was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), meaning he often becomes fixated on making something happen that is impractical or impossible. Over the years I have learned, through trial and error, that by taking the following steps I can calm him when he gets into one of his OCD jags. First, I calm myself. I have to stay calm because at first sign of troubleΓÇöthat, for instance, he has become stuck on buying a cat we have seen in an animal shelterΓÇöI become irritated, even enraged. So I tell myself, This is not the end of the world. I tell myself, His fixation might go on for an hour, but no longer. After I am calm, I listen with a sympathetic ear to the problem. I ask him to tell me what he wants, and I let him talk as long as he wants. I also make a mental note to give the conversation at least ten minutes, even checking my watch to make sure that I do not interrupt (unless asked) until a full ten minutes has passed. Ten minutes might not seem like a long time, but when I anticipate ten hours devoted to one, apparently-trivial problem, ten hours that could be devoted to his sisterΓÇÖs needs (I sometimes baby-sit both of them), I am bound to be impatient. Sometimes, ten to fifteen minutes of active listening will solve the problem. And while he talks, I make sure to maintain eye contact, which reinforces the idea that my listening is sincere. If this doesnΓÇÖt work, I try to distract him by changing the subject. ΓÇ£Before I forget,ΓÇ¥ I might say, ΓÇ£did you hear the Mets are thinking of trading Reyes?ΓÇ¥ Sometimes this works; sometimes it doesnΓÇÖt. If it doesnΓÇÖt, and he is about to suffer an atomic meltdown, I have one more weapon: candy.

In my opinion and iam already read about material and watching the video is
A process paragraph is a form of developing an exposition paragraph that presents a procession, procedure, stages, or technical instructions on a matter.
If the exposition paragraph describes information on a matter, the process paragraph presents detailed information about the process. Process paragraphs in their application often use chronological transitions between sentences such as the use of the next word, first, second, next, and so forth.

this is my answer for the exercise one:
1. The topic is about How I Deal With My NephewΓÇÖs Obsessions.

2. This is a set combination from explain and intruction

3. Steps in the process:
a. First, calm yourself
b. Second, Listen with a sympathetic ear to the problem.
c. Then, make a mental note to give the conversation at least ten minutes
d. Next, make sure maintain eye contact while listening
e. After that, if it doesn't work, distract by changing the subject ΓÇ£Before I forget,ΓÇ¥ I might say, ΓÇ£did you hear the Mets are thinking of trading Reyes?
f. Last, give the Candy to him

Thank you

According to the material that I read the process paragraph is a form of exposition paragraph development that presents about the procession, procedures, stages, or technical instructions on a matter. If the exposition paragraph describes information about a matter, then the paragraph will process detailed information about the process. The process paragraph in its application uses a chronological transition between sentences such as the use of the initial word, first, second, next, and so forth.

This is my answer for the exercise one:
1. How I challenged my niece's obsession.

2. In my opinion this is an explanation of the combination of sets and instructions

3. Steps in the process:
a. First, I calmed down. I have to stay calm
b. Secondly after I calmed down, I listened sympathetically to this problem. I asked him to tell me what he wanted,
c. Thirdly I also made a mental note to give a conversation for at least ten minutes. Ten minutes might not seem long, but when I anticipate ten hours for one seemingly trivial problem, ten hours can be used for his sister's needs (sometimes I take care of them both) , I am bound to be impatient.
d. when he spoke, I made sure to maintain eye contact, which reinforced the idea that my listening was sincere.
e. If this doesn't work, I try to distract him by changing the subject. "Before I forget," I might say, "have you heard the Mets think of trading Reyes?" Sometimes this works; sometimes not. If not, and he will experience atomic destruction, I have one more weapon: candy.
