Written Report Overview Working from your group’s feasibility proposal, develop a 9-12 pg. written report with both graphic and textual design elements. Your report should include the following sections:

• Title Page • Abstract • Table of Contents • Executive Summary • Introduction • Body of Report • Conclusions/Recommendations • Works Cited

You may include additional sections if you wish. (See Chapter 11 in your textbook for suggestions.) As I mentioned in the project overview, you must consider the report’s design, layout, images, organization, and accessibility in addition to its text. This means that you’ll want to consider what content to include as well as how that content contributes to the report. For example, bulletpointing necessary components will provide the reader with a succinct list, but creating a diagram, chart, or image of the components in addition to the list might help the reader navigate the report better. In other words, you should think about audience, purpose, scope, and rhetorical effectiveness in every step. (Hint: Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences may be helpful here).
