Instructions:
Try to ensure that your report contains the following elements:

a. Title page – This should include the project title and names of all group members. You can also list the name of your teacher.

b. Summary – It is a very brief summary of the report’s contents. It should be about half a page. This is one of the most important components of the report. It should begin with a clear statement of what the project is about so that the nature and scope of the project can be understood by a lay reader.

c. Acknowledgements – It is usual to thank those individuals who have provided particularly useful assistance during your project.

d. Contents page – This should list the main chapters and (sub) sections of your report. Choose self-explanatory chapter and section titles and use double spacing for clarity. You should include page numbers indicating where each chapter/section begins. Try to avoid too many levels of subheading – three is sufficient.

e. Body of report – The central part of the report should consist of three chapters detailing the actual work undertaken during the project. You need to discuss the content of these sections thoroughly with your teacher.

f. Conclusions – The project’s conclusions should list the things which have been learnt as a result of the work you have done.

g. Appendix and Bibliography – Use appendices to contain information which is peripheral to the main body of the report. You should try to bind all your material in a single volume if possible. Document the data collected from a text book, a magazine, or a website identifying its sources while using the appropriate form.
