REPORTS

1. An introduction would include:
a) background of the study (origin of
the study, literature of the study)
b) statement of the problem
(objectives and variables)
c) significance of the study (person,
community, environment)
d) scope and limitations of the study

2. Start by catching the reader's
attention.

3. This can be done in a number of ways
depending on the kind of investigatory project
you are creating. You might want to start by
using a startling fact, a personal note or just
some interesting information that you have
found whilst you have been researching the
topic of the project.

4. Say for instance your project is about a
certain disorder or disease that is affecting
people across the world then you may
want to start the project by stating how
many people die from the disease every
year.

5. - You should clearly state the intention of your
project, too.
- You can do this in the last sentence of the
introductory paragraph.
- The reader needs to know what the
investigatory project is about and what they can
expect to be reading about, and learning
about. .

6. The statement should be literally the
one statement that is able to
perfectly sum up what the subject of
the investigation is.
If you can't put this into one
statement then you probably aren't
investigating something specific
enough to be your project

7. You want to start the introductory paragraph
rather generally, and later on into the writing,
get a little more specific.
Getting more specific with every sentence is
known as funneling, so remember, the first
sentence should be general, and the last
statement should be incredibly detailed in
the topic of which your project is studying.

8. Ensure that you introduce the complete essay
within the introductory paragraph.
This can be done within the aforementioned
statement, and in just the one sentence
again, explain what kinds of information you
will be using as sources for your investigatory
project.
Remember to be interesting right throughout
the investigatory project and to come to a
conclusion at the end.
