3. Writing A Report
Reports are written to inform the reader about a
particular topic.
Unlike an essay, information is sorted in reports using
headings.
Reports may also use images, as well as text.
4. Headings for your report
• Why do we have National Parks?
• Who is responsible for National Parks in Western Australia?
• What can and cannot be done in National Parks
• And then for the final heading, select one of the parks below,
and highlight it’s features and provide a map of its location.
Geiki Gorge
Karijini
Kalbarri
Leeuwin-Naturaliste
Purnululu
5. Note making & Referencing
It is very important to know where you have gotten
your information from.
For every website you visit, or book you read, write
down the address of the website or the title & author of
the book.
Underneath this, take notes of the key points that will
be used in your report.
A copy of your notes must be handed in with the
report.
You may work in pairs to do your research but you
must have separate notes and a separate report.
