Precise Process Words

In this worksheet, students replace informal or vague words in how-to steps with more precise, domain-specific vocabulary. For example, they substitute words like gooey, really hot, or small pieces with technical or clearer wording. This task strengthens students’ understanding of how precise language improves clarity in instructional writing. It encourages them to think about accuracy, discipline-specific terminology, and the impact of word choice on comprehension. This is an important skill for science, technology, and real-world procedural writing.
