Page 11 - E-MODUL PROCEDURE TEXT IX

Protocol procedure text contains steps that can be done flexibly. That is, the

purpose of the text is still achieved even if the reader does not follow the steps
sequentially. Still confused? Take a look at this example.

Example of protocol procedure text: ''In making instant noodles, you are free
to boil the noodles first or choose to pour the seasoning into the bowl first.''

3) Complex Procedure Text

Complex procedure text usually requires more tools, materials, and time than
simple procedure text. In complex procedure texts, it is not uncommon for us

to find sub-stages before moving on to the next step.
Examples of complex procedure text:

a) Prepare risol skin dough

- Add flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, 2 eggs, butter and milk. Mix well. Add
water to make dough.

- Sieve the skin mixture so that there are no lumps of flour.
- Then pour it using a ladle on hot Teflon over low heat until half cooked.

b) Prepare a sheet of risol skin then add sausage, egg slices, mayonnaise
and grated cheese, then roll the risol shape.

5. Linguistic Rules of Text Procedure
Linguistic rules are certain characteristics attached to a text. In compiling procedural

texts, there are linguistic rules that are commonly used, namely:
1) Sentences

There are 3 categories of sentences that you can find in procedure text, namely
Imperative, Declarative, and Interrogative

a) Imperative Sentences

Imperative sentences are sentences that contain orders, requests, or
prohibitions to do something. Example: "Be careful when frying risol!''

b) Declarative Sentence

A declarative sentence is a sentence that contains a statement.
Example: ''Risol mayonnaise is a snack that is suitable for serving

family or visiting guests."
c) Interrogative Sentences

Interrogative sentences are sentences that ask questions. Example:
"How do you make a delicious mayonnaise roll?"
