Report Guidelines 

INTRODUCTION

You need to hook your audience in. Sat what your 4 key questions are.

KEY QUESTION  1 - 4

For each question you will need to write at least two paragraphs answering your question using your research. A paragraph should be structured using S.E.X.Y

S  - state your main point.

E - Give evidence of your point - how do you know it's true?

X - Explain your point - give details and examples.

Y - Why and how does this point relate to your key question?

Remember - Use SEXY twice for each question. Therefore you will need to find enough research to have two main points for each question.

CONCLUSION

Summarise your findings in one paragraph. Re-iterate your main points from each key question.

REMEMBER: Your display, presentation is worth 40% of your grade. You need to take the information and put it in a fun, interactive, educational way.
