Alright, now we are ready to move on to the
report itself. And you need to think in terms
of, for formal report, kind of like a letter
or a story. It's going to basically have a
beginning, a middle and an end, or an Introduction,
a Body and a Conclusion. So the first thing
that we're going to have as the meat and potatoes,
if you will, of our formal report is an Introduction.
And what do we do in an Introduction? We give
a brief overview of what is in the report,
basically in a statement, like thesis statement.
See now, we've already narrowed our report
down to a paragraph, now in our Introduction,
we are going to narrow it down to a sentence.
We're also going to put in attention getters,
to get people interested in reading our report
as well as statements about what is, to help
people comprehend what is in the report and
why the report is being written. And that's
the first part of the text, it's the Introduction.
