            The first thing that a writer does is pick out a good title that is very relevant to the topic. Like in our example: How do we make babies? Then making the outline follows. What do people do? What will they do next? It is clear then that the outline should be written in a sequence. One must remember that organization and order of presentation is very important. It must be arranged according to which one is being acted first and never attempt to interchange the steps. In a lot of times, this will be used as a guideline. Of course we don't want to mess up with chemical compounds mixture if it's a chemical process. The biggest thing that must be avoided is generating wrong results like explosions due to incompatibility.

            There is the topic, the heading for each group of actions, the subheading, and a good description of what should be done and how to do it. If the essay is a very technical one, limitations of the study and the process must be given. One needs to state the date, time of experiment, place of study and all other factors affecting the study like temperature or moisture. Now that the topic, the limitations and the outline were already determined, the methodology must then be revealed. There are processes which generates multiple results so one may want to specify which one is being described.

            The purpose of the study indicating the benefits that can be derived from it must be determined and clearly presented. The readers would naturally want to know the objective and the fundamental principles behind it. Each process must be explained and described in detail. Everything must be thoroughly covered. Reference materials must be properly cited. The benefits of the study must be explained including by products and side effects in cases of pharmacology. Everything must be revealed and if ever there are side effects, the medical treatment must be stated. Information is very important especially if one is writing with delicate matters such as chemicals and production of pills.

         Remember that in every step, anything could go wrong. One has to make allowances for mistakes. Every mistake known must be cited and carefully explained. It is important to point out any harmful effects just to be cautious. The illustration above is the easiest way to grasp how to make process essays. One may edit the outline, add or change as one may find necessary. Start smiling and start writing. Understand the process, understand the cycle. And again, always remember to describe everything in sequence. Order is very important in process essays. It could be the complete process or just a part of it whichever is being indicated in the assignment.
