Using the Same Grammatical Person
The directional process speaks directly to the reader.
Sentences in a directional process use the word
“you,” or they imply “you.”
The informational process involves somebody doing the
process.
Sentences in an informational process use words
like “I,” “we,” “he,” “she,” or “they” or a person’s
name.

11. DRAFTING AND REVISING PROCESS
Shift in person
Shifting from describing how somebody did
something to telling the reader how to do an
activity.
Using Transitions Effectively
Transitions are important in process because you
are trying to show steps in a specific sequence and
connections between steps.
