Directions:

In writing, describe how something is made. Choose one of the following:

1. Use a reference book such as an encyclopedia to find out how something is made, and then summarize this information. It's not necessary to get into technical details. Read about the process and then describe it in your own words. Possible subjects: paper, a candle, a pencil, glass, steel, silk thread, bronze, leather, etc.

2. Write about something you know how to make. Possible subjects: a kite, a ceramic pot, a bookcase, a sweater, a bead necklace, a special decoration, a special kind of food, etc. Notice the use of the passive in the following example. Paper is a common material that is used throughout the world. It has been made from various plants, such as rice and papyrus, and used to be made by hand. Today wood is the chief source of paper, and most of the work is done by machines. Paper can be made from wood pulp by either a mechanical or a chemical process. In the mechanical process, the wood is ground into small chips. During the grinding, it is sprayed with water to keep it from burning from the friction of the grinder. Then the chips are soaked in water. In the chemical process, first the wood is washed, and then it is cut into small pieces by a chipping machine. The wood is then cooked in certain chemicals. After cooking, the wood is washed to get rid of the chemicals. The pulp that results from either the mechanical or chemical process is then drained to form a thick mass. Next it is bleached in chlorine and then thoroughly washed again. Then the pulp is put through a machine that squeezes the water out and forms the pulp into long sheets. Next the pulp sheets pass through a drier and a press. Then they are wound into rolls. Remember: You are writing a general description of how something is made. You are not giving your reader instructions to follow. Do not write in the second person (e.g., If you want to make paper, first you grind the wood into small chips. Be sure to spray the chips during the grinding so they don't burn. Then you soak the chips in water.). Write a description, not instructions.
