Title of Paper

This first part of your paper is labeled Topic and Introduction on the course rubric. Discuss the purpose of the paper in succinct, declarative sentences. The introduction should offer a preview of the paper and its value, and be based upon the concepts studied in the course.

Discussion of Content

This section should analyze the report writing process. Specifically focus here on writing informational reports. Basically, you are setting up how you should approach a specific type of business writing (that you will then perform in the next section). Arguments must be well-developed and supported by proper reasons, research information, and examples.

San Francisco Air Port Report (Option 1)

In this section you will actually include the report that you have written based on the collected data. When working on this section it’s important to be clear and have strong recommendations. Please make sure you examine the sample report in the textbook on pages 432-445.

Synthesis and Conclusion

This should be a few summative paragraphs that explains 1) how you approached writing this informational report and 2) what you learned from writing this informational report about business writing as a general concept. To ensure that you include both a synthesis and conclusion, you may want to sublabel these using a third order heading like this:

Synthesis. Then write your paragraph about your synthesis here. Again, the goal is to demonstrate how you are making connections between course content (about informational reports) and the actual informational report you’ve written. You should be using some of the same literature you used in the discussion of the content section here. The goal is to demonstrate how you have used content in your actual writing process.

Conclusion. This section is a first-person narrative explaining what it is that you’ve learned. I want to see you reflecting on your writing process and what you’re learning.
