TK For Kids - How To Create A Report

Reports are an important part of life. Reports are used to communicate results or findings in a formal manner. Report writing is an art and can be very difficult at first but with a good grounding can become easier.

Reports are created using the following headings:

Introduction. This is a paragraph that states what you will be talking about in the rest of the report.
Main Body/Findings. This is where you present your work in a formal manure.
- History. History is a good place to start providing background into your discussion.
- Development. Development is showing how your report topic got to where it is today.
- How it affects us. How do we use your report topic in today's society.
- The Future. This is where you think your report topic will be headed in the future.
Summary/Conclusion. This is a paragraph which sums up what you have said in the body.
References. This is where you show where you got the information from.

There are many different types or reports and styles to them, but they all revolve around the things mentioned above.

Research into your topic and get a good understanding of what your report must cover. When researching, keep a log of what information you have used and what the souses are. Research doesn't just mean using the internet as there are also very useful books available at your local library.

When you think you have got enough information, read through it all and see what you think is best and most relevant to your discussion. Use highlighters to identify key and important things that you will come back to later.

When writing your report, it is VERY important to remember that you cannot use abbreviations or 'txt' language. All your writing should be written out in full. An example of this is "don't". This should be written out as "do not". In your report you should not use the word "I" as this is your own opinion. It should be left up to the reader of the report to form their own opinion.

The Introduction is one paragraph that covers what you will be saying in your report. This provides the reader with a taste of what is to come and makes them interested as the introduction never has details.

The findings/body is where you present your research. This covers in detail what you mentioned in the introduction. When using other people's resources as research, it is important to remember that it is against the law to directly copy what they have said word for word. If you like a line and you think you could not write it better yourself, it must be placed in quote marks ( " ). If it is longer than two sentences it is recommended that the souse is identified.

In summing up the report, it is a good idea to mention the report topic as reference to what you have discussed. No new information should be introduced in the summary of the report. The summary should only be brief allowing the reader to draw their own concussions.

References are where you acknowledge your souses. If it is a book you used, you would write the title, date it was published and the author. For a website you would write out the website title, URL and the date you retrieved the page.

By putting all these things into practice, you will ensure a successful and great report.
