Learning Objective: I will explain procedures in text .

procedures - a set of steps that happen over time.

What will you explain?I will explain procedures in text.

Text – words that are published.• Technical manual text – text that explains

how to do something.• Historical text – text that explains history.• Science text – published work that has to

do with science.

Break it down into steps

Why is it important to know how to follow multiple step instructions of a basic technical manual or understand how

process works?

You need to know how to follow multiple step instructions of a basic technical manual so you can correctly assemble or operate technology.

Understanding process is important when you learn about technology, science, and history.

Steps to reading a technical manual

When entering a name or a phone number how do you erase a mistake?

a. Press the right soft key.b. Press erase.c. Press cancel.d. Press the left soft key

Step 1: Read the questions .Step 2: Read all the instructions. Look at the

text features (titles, pictures, captions)

Step 3: Answer the questions. Look for evidence in the instructions to prove you have the right answer.

How can we explain a procedure, or process, in Science?

Sedimentary RocksFor thousands, even millions of years, little pieces of our earth have been eroded--broken down and worn away by wind and water. These little bits of our earth are washed downstream where they settle to the bottom of the rivers, lakes, and oceans. Layer after layer of eroded earth is deposited on top of each. These layers are pressed down more and more through time, until the bottom layers slowly turn into rock.

Sedimentary RocksStep 1. Sediment is produced by the

weathering of larger rocks and minerals.Step 2. The sediment is carried along by

the current until it is emptied into a slow moving body of water (ocean or lake).

Step 3. After many layers have settled pressure from the upper layers presses on the lower layers and hardens then to rock.

Step 4. Dissolved minerals in the water cement the particles of sediment together to finish the process.

Sedimentary RockWhat is the 1st step in the sedimentary rock process?

A) DepositionB) TransportationC) Weathering/ErosionD. Cementation/ Lithification

What step comes before cementation?

A) TransportationB) DepositionC) Cementation/ Lithification

D) Weathering/ Erosion

Why is understanding process important when we read?

ClosureWhat did we learn today? We learned how to explain procedures in text.

Why is understanding process important when we read?Understanding process helps us know that authors need to do extensive research when they publish works about technology, history, or science.
