1 Print Evaluating a Procedural Text In this task, you'll read a procedural text and then evaluate its organization and clarity, applying the guidelines you read previously. Then you'll suggest ways to improve it. This task will help you become familiar with the components of this type of text before you write your own. Read this written lab procedure, and then answer the questions that follow: Performing a Lab Experiment First, you'll need to make sure you have all your equipment, such as a science notebook, dissection tools, a stopwatch, an electronic balance, glassware, and possibly many others. The next thing that you'll want to do is have all your safety equipment—helmet, mask, goggles, ear protection, respirator, welding mask, whatever you need. Always follow these guidelines for safety: Read the entire lab procedure. Bring only needed materials into area. Know where the safety and emergency equipment is located. It's important to understand how to dispose of waste after performing the experiment. Proper disposal depends on the material. Is it water? Put it in the sink. Some chemicals should never go in the sink, so ask your teacher if you're not sure. Is it a dry, harmless material that can't be reused or recycled? Put it in the trash can. Is it a biological material from an experiment? Seal it and put it in a biohazard container. A chemical? Put it in its respective chemical waste container (avoid mixing together different chemicals). What about your materials and safety equipment? Make sure you've returned all your materials to the proper place so that they may be used next time. If you're not sure where something goes, ask your teacher or someone else. It's important to put things back where they belong. Here are some other safety rules: if possible, wear clothes made of cotton; tie back long hair, and roll up loose sleeves; do not touch your face or eyes; wash hands with soap and water after the experiment. Part A Briefly describe the subject of this procedural text.

How does the text's organization contribute to its readability? Does the organization support or detract from the text's purpose? 15px Space used (includes formatting): 0 / 15000 Part C Making use of the tips and guidelines you explored earlier, describe at least three ways this procedural text could be improved. Consider changes in formatting and organization as well as changes to the text itself. 15px
