report H5 2024-2025

Report

Reports are more often used for business, scientific and technical subjects, and in the workplace.

 

Whereas an essay presents arguments and reasoning, a report concentrates on facts.

Essentially, a report is a short, sharp, concise document which is written for a particular purpose and audience.

It generally sets outs and analyses a situation or problem, often making recommendations for future action. It is a factual paper, and needs to be clear and well-structured.

Structure

• Introduction 
• Main body: 3 paragraphs
• Conclusion 

So your total should be 5 paragraphs including the intro and conclusion. You need to write at least 325 words in total for this report. 

Introduction

• In which you explain what the problem/issue etc is that you are going to write about.
• Mention the name of the video and where it can be found, or when it was broadcast.
• You should also state that you will make recommendations. 
• But! Keep it short: all in all it should not be more than 5 sentences. Be consise and clear, your explanations are for the main body
  

Main body

Each of the  paragraphs is structured as follows:

• Subheading
• Thesis statement/topic sentence: this is 1 sentence in which you basically state what you are going to talk about in this paragraph.
• Evidence (facts!) from the video. Make sure everything you write is in keeping with what was said in the video.

So, if it needs to be for school, mention only what can we done there

Conclusion:

• Summarize the main points in other words
  
• The recommendations suggest how you think the situation could be improved /solved or whatever the assignment tells you to give a recommendation about.

Language

• Formal language.
• Impersonal language (avoid using I or we)  -> passive voice!
• No contractions (do not ipv don't)
• Numbers under 21 written in full
• Polite forms (would/could etc.)
• Show that you have a wide command of vocabulary and grammar
• use synonyms for  words that are frequently used in the report

The test itself

• Bring a fully charged laptop / i-pad to the test, and headphones.
• Become familiar with all functions of Word, such as the spellchecker and synonym options. The more you know, the easier writing becomes.
• Write/type a report of at least 325 words. You can only open Word and Magister Berichten.
• Arial 12, space 1.5 p
  
• Upload a WORD file to Magister Opdrachten. Other files are not accepted.
  
• You can use the spelling checker, grammar checker, list of synonyms and the editor in Word. Pupils who use an i-pad are allowed to use the free version of Grammarly as they do not have the editor in Word.  AI is, of course, not allowed and will be considered fraud.
• Do not forget to type name, class, and number of words.

Bekijk de video. 

Schrijf een report over de ongelijkheid in het Britse schoolsysteem dat veroorzaakt wordt door private scholen. Geef in de conclusie aan  waarom jij denkt dat het systeem van private scholen afgeschaft moet worden of niet, gebaseerd op wat je hebt gehoord in de video.

In het middendeel van je rapport schrijf je alinea's over;

1) Wat zijn private schools en hoe zijn ze ontstaan? ( kopje: the history of private schools)

2) Waarom worden ze gezien als elitair? ( kopje: the elitism of private schools)

3) Welke maatregelen om het onderwijs meer inclusief te maken worden in de video genoemd? ( kopje: measures to make private schools more inclusive)
