Process Diagrams 🏭

A process diagram shows how something is made. It is sequential.

Key Grammar: Passive Voice

Since we don't know who makes the product, use Passive Voice.

  • Active: The machine crushes the stone.
  • Passive: The stone is crushed by the machine.

Sequencers

First, Subsequently, Then, Following this, Finally.

Sample: Cement Making

Prompt: Diagram of cement production.

Sample Excerpt: The process begins when limestone and clay are crushed into a powder. This powder is then mixed and passed through a rotating heater. Subsequently, the heated mixture is ground to produce cement, which is finally packaged in bags.
