What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments.  In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome.  There are two approaches to the process essay.  The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task.  The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process.  The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.  

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things.  First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary.  Next, it needs to identify your audience.  Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process.  For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process.  For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay.  If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Battle of the Aleutians a Cold Wake Up Call
This study concerns the Battle for the Aleutians which was the only time during World War II that Japanese occupied American soil and was the first incursion on American soil since the War of 1812. The Aleutian Islands were strategically significant during World War II for both sides but many military historians agree that both sides would have been better off if they had foregone this campaign. The purpose of this study was to provide a review of the primary and secondary peer-reviewed and scholarly literature concerning this battle to develop an informed answer to the study's guiding research question: "How might the American response to the Japanese invasion and occupation be directly linked to the chain of events in the Pacific, and did the ‘forgotten battle' mobilize Americans more than historians have admitted?"

Wetlands Regulation in USA
Wetlands are among the globe's most sensitive habitats. They balance delicately with their setting and are influenced by any shift in the atmosphere, local land use and water supply. Scores of wetlands occupy areas that can become useful and fertile agricultural fields if drained, and the pear recovered from these wetlands is economically valuable. The upshot is that wetlands are considerably vulnerable and fragile habitats. As the human population grows, claim for food production, land also increases, and so are the pressures placed on wetlands. These useful ecosystems will inevitably decline if people do not conceive and control them. In this regard, this paper reviews wetlands regulation measures in the United States.
