Lesson 4: Process Analysis

Learning Competency
The learner distinguishes between and among patterns of development in writing across
disciplines (EN11/12RWS-IIIbf-3).

Specific Objectives
At the end of this lesson, the learner should be able to
● identify the features of process analysis in writing, and
● use process analysis in writing.

Learning Activities

Essential Question
1. If using technology, refer to slide 4 of the slide presentation.
2. If not using technology, write this on the board:
“What is the most important feature of the process analysis pattern that
makes it beneficial to use in writing?”
3. Instruct students to reflect on the question for a minute; call on a few to give
responses. Make sure you elicit enough responses that state students’ ideas
regarding the important features of the process analysis pattern that are beneficial
in writing.

A. Motivation

Warm Up!

Think-Pair-Share

1. Ask the students to enumerate at least three reading materials they have read
that detailed steps or instructions that they have to follow in order to achieve a
goal.
2. Have them explain how knowing the steps helped them and how it made their
task easier to do.
3. Ask them to pinpoint which among the reading materials was the most helpful
and reader-friendly for them. Let them share their thoughts with a partner.

B. Lesson Proper

Springboard

After the activity, you may introduce the lesson by saying, “In the previous activity,
you were asked to enumerate reading materials that detailed steps or instructions
that you have to follow to achieve a goal. Such materials make use of the process
analysis pattern of development in writing, which is what we are going to discuss
today.”

Review

Before starting the discussion on the process analysis pattern of development in

writing, do a review of the previous lesson, the problem-solution pattern, by asking
the students the following questions:

● What kinds of topics are best written about using the problem-solution
pattern of development?
● What are the variations of the problem-solution pattern?

Presentation of Lesson

1. After doing the review, proceed to the lesson proper.

2. If using technology, start from slide 7 of the slide presentation.

Discussion

While discussing the concepts in the study guide, you may present to the students
the following additional examples. You may print out copies of the texts from here.

Instructional/Directive Process Analysis Text

When writing a research paper, the first thing to do is to identify the problem you
want to solve or the phenomenon you want to study. After that, you need to know
who will be your target respondents or what will be the research environment.
Once these are specified, you can now work on an outline of your plan regarding
the data gathering procedure. This will guide you throughout the research
process. Once the draft is done and approved, gather data from relevant sources
and/or from your respondents. Ensure that you keep a record of the findings.
Then, write conclusions based on your results. Support your conclusions using
your gathered related literature or studies. Finally, make a list of
recommendations for the benefactors of the study.

Informative Process Analysis Text

There are two ways to deposit money to one’s bank account. One is through the
ATM (Automated Teller Machine) where the money can be slipped into the
machine after keying in the account number and details like the amount of money.
Another way is by over-the-counter transaction. To do this, you have to present
the account details and the amount of money to be deposited to the bank teller.
This is usually preferred by those depositing a larger amount of money, while the
ATM is often used by those who prefer its convenience and availability since the
machine can be used even after regular banking hours.

Evaluation
Writing Prompts

Ask the students to work on the following exercises. You may print copies of the
prompts from here.

How can the process analysis pattern of development be incorporated in persuasive

texts? Explain in a paragraph.

Research on the process of planting seeds. Make a concept map detailing and
explaining each step.

Research on how to improve one’s acting skills. Then, write a process analysis text
about the topic.

Synthesis

Synthesis Activity

1. Divide the class into six groups. Have the students pretend that they are experts
who will showcase their skills and talents in a “Demo Fest.”
2. Each group will present a demonstration of a certain skill that will be assigned to
them.
3. Assign each of the following skills:
a. sewing

5
 Unit 5: Patterns of Development in Writing II • Grade 11/12

b. cooking
c. sculpting
d. experimenting
e. planting
f. dancing
4. Ask the students to research so that they can do the demonstration and to
prepare a report of their presentation.
5. Instruct them to write a process analysis outline or essay that will be used in
their demonstration.

Criteria Score

Content
(The use of process analysis in the report and presentation is clear,
accurate, and appropriate.) 5 pts.

Presentation

Score: /15

Possible Answers to the Essential Question

Possible answer 1: The process analysis pattern includes a discussion of specific steps
that may improve one’s skills in comprehension, organization, and presentation.

Possible answer 2: The process analysis text explains how a process works and may also
improve one’s critical thinking skills.

Assignment
Ask the students to do the following at home.

1. Create a three- to five-minute vlog of a process that you know or are familiar with.
2. Follow the features/guidelines in writing a process analysis text to guide you in your
presentation.
