Run Through of the Steps

The three main steps in writing a process paragraph are as follows: write a topic sentence, write the body that includes the steps to complete the process, and write a conclusion. The process paragraph should be six or more sentences. Step 1) Write a Solid Topic Sentence The topic sentence should be first and tell what you will be explaining or what directions you will give. It should tell your topic, tell the process that will be explained in the paragraph and make a point.

Step 2) Body or Detail Sentences The body of the process paragraph is all about the steps. They are generally given in time order. Before writing the body of the paragraph, it is helpful to make a numbered list of all the steps that need to be followed. Then write the body. Make sure to use transitional words for good flow of ideas. Step 3) Conclusion End the paragraph with a concluding sentence. It should restate the topic and wrap up the paragraph. Once you have written your first draft, make sure to check that the whole paragraph flows smoothly and check for any grammar mistakes.
