  1. 2.7 Report Writing

  2. Structure

  3. Outline Introduction Heading for Connection 1 2-4 paragraphs (1 paragraph per text) for connection one. Heading for Connection 2 2-4 paragraphs (1 paragraph per text) for connection two. Conclusion.

  4. Introduction In your introduction you need to: Introduce your connections- brief description of each. Introduce you texts- like essays I need to know titles, authors/directors and text types (e.g. novel, film, short story etc.)

  5. Headings It is important that you include a heading for each connection in your report. This will ensure that the marker can clearly understand what your connections are and where you are discussing each. HOW? Turn each of your connections into a statement e.g. “theme of oppression”, “innocent female protagonists” etc. You may also like to include “Connection 1” or “Connection 2”. Make sure that your heading is underlined and that you skip a line before beginning your first paragraph.

  6. Body Paragraphs For each connection you should have one body paragraph per text. E.g. if I discuss 2 texts for connection one I need 2 paragraphs. This is where you discuss HOW you see this connection in the text and make comparisons between the other texts you have analysed. Your body paragraphs must follow a clear paragraph structure (e.g. PEEL, TEEPEE) and have clear topic sentences and links to the connection.

  7. Conclusion • In your conclusion you need to: • Summarise your report by restating • Your texts • Your connections • You also need to explain what you have learned from these texts/through the experience of writing this report- what can we take away from the connections you have made? • This is a good place to link to the wider world/talk about the significance of the ideas discussed.

  8. What should I be talking about?

  9. In each body paragraph you need to… Discuss how you see the connection in the text. Make connections by identifying (throughout the paragraph) how this is similar and different to the other texts you have analysed. Using connective language (see resource) will help you to do this.

  10. What about purpose? Some of you may be discussing purpose as a connection. In this case it will be clear to you when to discuss this. If you have not included purpose as a connection of its own, you need to weave discussion of this throughout your report. You can do this when you are discussing the effect of evidence you include or the significance of the connection in relation to the text. Weave it in like you would in an essay.

  11. When should I link my texts to the wider world/society? Again, this is similar to an essay. When you are discussing how you see the connection in each text, you can include a brief sentence about how this is relevant, important or significant to the wider world. The best place to expand on this is at the end of your report in your conclusion when you discuss what there is to be learned from you connection/texts/report.
