2. REPORT WRITING
THE INCIDENTS/ACCIDENTS

4. NARRATIVE VS REPORTS – THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
• In both Narrative Descriptive Essay and Reports, you are being asked to write about something.
• For Narrative Descriptive your story can be realistic or quite fictional.
For example: “Write about a bad day you have experienced.”
• You may or may not have experience a bad day but you can take this prompt in any direction you wish –
realistic or fictional
• You can write about something that probably happened to you in real life or you can write about being
abducted by aliens and taken to space. Options are unlimited.
• However, for reports, your story should be more realistic- even if you may not have experienced a specific
event in real life, you can pretend that such as event has occurred in order to write on it.
To help, take examples or scenarios from real life events
Think about what really happens when there is an accident or other incidents at school.
What are the procedure that occurred after an incidents.

and writer’s opinion or the
author’s point of view.
You are the creator of this world. This
means you know what your characters
are thinking or feeling. (Characters act
out the writer’s will or desires) In other
words, they do what the writer wants.
What ever the writer wants will
happen.
Should NOT contain opinion or a
person’s point of view. It should
be objective. (Does not include the writers
thoughts and feelings. Leave your thoughts and
feeling out) It is not about you.
You are just an observer/witness. You cannot tell
what someone is thinking or feeling. Leave out the
extra drama. Tell it to the point.
Only tell what was seen, done ,heard or
investigated. (These are persons that you are
observing as a witness)

NARRATIVE
DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY
REPORTS
Additional
Information
Narrative Descriptive essays
generally focus on a story using
descriptive language. This is why
is should have lots of
description. It usually contains
story elements such as
characters, setting, and a
problem or conflict.
It is about a story that has
occurred so PAST TENSE VERBS
are used.
Report essays focus on telling what
has occurred. It tells what was seen,
done, heard or investigated.
Uses the 5 W’s and 1 H : Who, What,
Where, When , Why and How
It gets straight to the point and uses
only relevant information.
It also uses PAST TENSE VERBS as it
relates what has already happened.

11. GENERAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NARRATIVE
AND REPORT
What they
both have
in common
Both Narrative Descriptive Essays and
Reports have a BEGINNING, MIDDLE
and END. However, the structure and
what can be included in them are
different.

12. IN REPORTS WE AVOID DIRECT SPEECH OR
DIALOGUE. WE USE REPORTED SPEECH
Example of Dialogue or Direct Speech
Ms. Lane then told Marlon , “ Go to the office immediately!”
How it should be reported or written
Ms. Lane then told Marlon to go the office immediately.

13. AVOID CONTRACTION AND ABBREVIATION
Example of Contraction and Abbreviation
Jeremy said that he didn’t bite Susan.
How it should be reported or written
Jeremy then stated that he did not bite Susan.

14. AVOID CONTRACTION
Example of Contraction and Abbreviation
Jeremy stated that he bite Susan.
How it should be reported or written
Jeremy stated that he bite Susan.

15. In the Narrative Descriptive Essay ,you are the creator of your
characters, hence you would know what your characters feel , think,
hear and see.
However, in a Report, you are a witness or an investigator. You can
only tell what you see, hear, have been told. You are not in control
of the persons in a report so you do not know what they are
thinking, what they are seeing, what they are feeling.
Words like decided, thought, know – assume that you know what is
going on inside the person’s mind or body.

16. What is the difference between A FACT and AN OPINION?
•A FACT is a statement that can be proven TRUE OR FALSE.
It can be investigated and found out to be true or false.
•An OPINION is an expression of a person's feelings
,thoughts or assumptions which cannot be proven. It is
what someone believes. Two persons can have different
beliefs.

17. Directions: Read each statement and then state
whether it is a fact(F) or opinion (O).
• If it’s a fact, explain how it can be proven. It can be found to be TRUE
or FALSE.
• If it is an opinion, simply write that it cannot be proven.
• Ask yourself:
• – Can you see it with your eyes, can you hear it, can you do it, Did you
ask a witness to the event etc?

18. When writing a report, avoid the following
• Avoid stating emotions or what you think people in the report are thinking or
feeling. Just say what they did.
• Don’t assume you know what they are feeling, thinking or what has happened to
them.
• For example : Maya fell and you stated that she got a broken arm (Are you a
doctor, nurse/red cross teacher, paramedic to know this? Let these professional
say this)
• Unless someone states that they are feeling a specific way do not include in your
report. Do not make assumptions.

19. • Remember with facts you can find proof. You can call ask people to
confirm or find evidence.
• Do not cast blame. You are just telling what has occurred without
making judgements.

20. Do not write: Marcus was angry.
Write : Marcus stated that he was feeling angry
Do not write: Amanda fell and broke her arm.
Write: Amanda fell and after the school nurse, Ms. James examined
her, she stated that Amanda’s arm was broken.
