Process Essay

I. Introduce the Diagram

Introduce the diagram by paraphrasing the rubric:

The illustration shows the whole process of how a hydroelectric dam manufactures electricity from water.

As you can see, this has been taken from the question, but it has not been copied. You need to write it in your own words.

II. Highlight the Main Points

You should give an overview of what is taking place. As there are no trends to comment on, you can make a comment on, for example, the number of stages in the process or how it begins and ends:

Overall, the main element of the procedure is the flow of water, making a reservoir of water, this is the first step until the last step where the power is produced and distributed. There are 5 main steps in this process.

III. Give the Detail

Now you need to explain the process diagram, and there are two key aspects of language associated with this:

1) Time Connectors

A process is a series of events, one taking place after the other. Therefore, to connect your stages, you should use ‘time connectors’.

To begin, a body of water is stored in a large water reservoir holding the water until it goes into the intake. The dam will then control the flow of water to the intake. After that, water will flow to a cylindrical passage called a penstock, making it flow with a strong pressure until it reaches the turbine. Next, the current of the flowing water from the river passing through the penstock will maintain the turbine's rotation.

Subsequently, the rotation of the turbine would produce energy that will pass through a generator until electricity is produced. The generator is inside of the powerhouse, where long distance power lines are connected. Finally, from the generator, electricity is then transmitted to long distance power lines.

These are some common process diagram connectors:
