Procedure is a text that shows a process in order. Its social function is to describe how something is completely done through a sequence of series. Or

(1)Texts that explain how something works or yhow to use instruction / operation manuals e.g. how to use the video, the computer, the tape recorder, the photocopier, the fax (2) Texts that instruct how to do a particular activity e.g. recipes, rules for games, science experiments, road safety rules.

(3) Texts that deal with human behaviour eg how to live happily, how to succeed.

How to Make Banana Jam

INGREDIENTS

3 peeled bananas

1 cup of sugar or artificial sugar

1/3 a cup of water

STEPS

First, put all those things out in front of you.

Next, take the peeled bananas and slice the banana into very thin pieces. Put them aside in a bowl.

Then, fill the pot with 1 cup of sugar and stir it continuously.

Next, cook until brown in medium heat. Don’t step away for more than 10 seconds because this will burn if you don’t watch it carefully.

Once brown, add 1/3 a cup of water and the sliced banana you put aside. Don’t forget to keep stirring on low heat.

When no banana pieces are noticeable, turn off heat.

After that, put in a container or covered bowl and put in the fridge until chilled.

Finally, frozen banana jelly or jam finished.
