How to give a clear
structure to a report
The students should order each sentence and
paragraph – and the report in general – for optimal
clarity
Examples of
strategies
› The students should make a plan when setting up
a report: “In what order do you want to present
your arguments?”
› Writing from an outline helps to preserve the
logic of the argument. An outline identifies the
main ideas and subordinate ideas, and helps the
students to maintain discipline in their writing and
to notice omissions.
Readers should understand what the student is
presenting: the student should aim for continuity in
words, concepts and thematic development from the
opening statement to the conclusion.
