Step+5

Step 5

Now that you have completed your mind map plan, you will use it to guide the writing of your report.

Here are the technical requirements for the report:


 * Written on computer
 * 12pt font
 * Use Times New Roman only
 * Maximum number of words: 1200 (//changed from 1500//)
 * Minimum number of words: 400
 * Double spaced

The due date for the report is Friday, December 17th. See the completion calendar for more details.

How to write the report:

The structure of the report should be as follows:


 * Paragraph 1: Introductory Paragraph

This paragraph should be a short one, perhaps only 3 or four sentences. In it, you should introduce your research topic, sharing a particularly interesting fact about it, or discussing why you think it is important. ||
 * Paragraph 2: Body Paragraph

All body paragraphs should have their own sub-topic. Think about the branches you made in your mind map plan. Each major branch is a sub-topic, and should get its own paragraph. Remember that a paragraph exists to help keep writing organized by similar idea. It makes your writing much clearer. ||
 * Paragraph 3: Another Body Paragraph ||
 * Paragraph 4: Another Body Paragraph ||
 * Paragraph 5: Closing Paragraph ||

Your report //may have// more or less paragraphs, the above is just an example.

Remember: //Each of the subtopics on your mind map should form a paragraph in your report.//
