**I. Process** When you describe a process you go step by step explaining what you do or how the process takes place. For this kind of writing you will need time markers as: first, second, third, then, later, after, before, etc. You also might use verbs in infinitive form to explain what process you are going through or you are seeing.

**II. Assignment**

Check the following web page in which you have a magic trick. []

Follow these steps: __Think__ of a 2-digit integer. __Subtract__ from the number the sum of its digits and __find__ the result in the table below. __Note__ that each cell of the table contains a number and a geometric shape. __Concentrate__ hard on the shape that shares a cell with the result of your calculations. __When__ ready, press the "Check it!" button ... //Note: I underlined verbs in infinitive form and the only word ("when") that seems to be a time marker//. A two digit non-negative integer has the form 10a+b, where a and b are less than 10, a is the first digit and b the second. So __first__ we have 10a+b and __then__ we substract a+b from 10a+b, so we have 10a+b-(a+b)=9a. From this, we have that the number will be a multiple of 9. We can check in the grid that every multiple of 9 (9, 18, 27...) has the same shape. Yes, it was the same explanation I thought of.
 * 1. Read the instructions, cut them and paste them to your wiki.**
 * 2.Underline the words that are time markers.**
 * 3. Play and try to explain why the magic trick worked.**
 * 4. Check the explanation below the trick. Was it the one you were thinking of? Explain.**
