When teaching process essays, I point out that very often the task, in the assignment or progress test, will specify the use of the passive. Basically, process essays involve the present passive, usually is/are with the past participle.
It's important to point out that with some verbs the simple past & past participle are the same, but with other verbs there are 2 separate forms, e.g. go, went & gone..
The essay structure is similar to procedure, i.e. intro (c. 25-30 words); main paragraph (c. 100 words); conclusion (c. 25-30 words). Total: 150-160 words.
The same linking words can be used: first, secondly, next, after that, finally.
