Make a chart / graph of the swot.
Then make paragraphs describing each and backing it up.
· Here is a basic of the swot in bullet point format that I did with my group.
However, do not list all of this on the graph. The graph can just state the main thing, or something that sums it all up. After the chart, describe and get into detail about it . Be sure to explain.
· References should be cited within the body of the paper and listed at the end.
