Transcript RI 3_3 Explain Procedures in Text

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.
When was the last time your parents
bought something that they had to
put together?
What was it?
What is the purpose of the product?
Why was it needed?
Technical Manual
Technical manual: Instructions on how to
build or operate something.
Examples:
▪The instructions for assembling a bike
▪Instructions for a video game
▪Instructions for programming a phone

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
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.
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
Skill development
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.
To create a phonebook entry which of
the following do you do first.
A. Scroll down to the end of the list of names.
B. Enter the name.
C. Enter the phone number.
D. Press the right soft key to select a phone number
Historical Text - text that deals with the
history of a State, a Nation, or people.
Example: California Missions.
Lets think about the process
of making adobe bricks
during this time.
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.
1. What kinds of buildings were made using adobe
bricks? Provide evidence

2. When do you jump in with your feet to mix the mud,
water, and straw?
a. After you wet the Adobe brick mold.
b. After you set the brick to dry out in the sun.
c After you add the straw.
d. The bricks were usually made using manure.
How can we explain a
procedure, or process, in
Science?
Sedimentary Rocks
For 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 Rocks
Step 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 Rock
What is the 1st step in the
sedimentary rock process?
What step comes before
cementation?
A) Deposition
B) Transportation
C) Weathering/Erosion
D. Cementation/ Lithification
A) Transportation
B) Deposition

Closure
What 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.
