Explaining a process is a common feature in almost all college textbooks. A science text may explain the carbon nitrogen cycle. A history text may explain the sequence of events that caused the Black Plague to spread across Europe. A linguistic text may explain how new words are added to the language.
By definition, a process is a “series of actions or operations that produces a particular result.” Many process essays such as the ones described above, explain how something works or occurs. Then there are process essays that explain how to do or make something. This type of essay may, for example, explain how to use a new piece of software, how to manage your time, or how to use reading and writing processes.
