I Choosing a Topic
1. You will Write Reports or Papers for Three Reasons.
All through your formal education you will write reports. Teachers and schools very often require them. You may even write reports in some future job. Whatever the extent of your writing, the papers you prepare will require three things of you:
1. To prove that you can gather information from many sources
2. To prove that you know something about a particular subject
3. To present a theory, a plan of action, a proposal, a statement, or a conclusion, which you will support with logic, persuasion, and facts.
2. Reports Focus on a Single Subject and a Conclusion.
Most school reports concern a single subject with few if any sub-topics. They call for information, summaries, facts, and then, most important, conclusions. You must say something, not just repeat what you've read. For reports the sources are usually fewer. Footnotes and a bibliography are usually not required.
3. A Report is Not a Term Paper.
A report is less complex than a term paper. Term papers have larger topics, demanding more extensive research and information from a large number of sources. The way you write and the form you use are more important for a term paper than for a report. A report is shorter, frequently less than ten pages in length.

It is important to know which you are expected to write. It is crucial that you and your teacher agree on what you are expected to do. If you turn in a report when you are expected to write a term paper, you will receive a bad grade. If you write a term paper when a report is all that is required, you will have wasted a lot of energy. Your teacher may use different words for what you are required to write, so be sure that you understand exactly what is expected of you. Most teachers will give you a clear, concise description of how you should present your ideas.
