There are seven steps for your instructional writing. Read them carefully and get started to do your own writing!
Step 1
Write an introduction explaining what the reader will be able to accomplish by following your instructions.
You want the reader to understand why they are reading the instructions.
Step 2
Use simple words that any person would understand. You can't assume the reader knows anything about the topic.
This way, you won't leave out any important steps.
Step 3
Write in a friendly conversational manner. Imagine you are telling a friend how to perform a task.
Use short specific sentences for each step. You want to tell the reader how to perform a task using active voice.
Step 4
Picture yourself performing each step. Put yourself in the person's shoes and do the task as if you've never done it before.
Include diagrams and photos when possible so the reader can see what steps they will perform. Write captions beneath the drawings.
Step 5
Put the steps in logical order and use numbers if you want the reader to perform the task in a specific order.
Step 6
Include any warnings in a special section that the reader will not miss.
You don't want anyone to miss the warnings and get hurt following your instructions.
Step 7
