Wednesday's Assignment

Workplace Reports

Write a report for the following situation. Your report should be up to four paragraphs long.

Situation 1

Imagine you work for a settlement agency in your city or town, and you have been asked to research and report on information about services available in your community.

Before writing the report:

• Brainstorm the types of services you think can address the needs of newcomers (e.g., subsidized daycare centers, ESL/LINC classes, walk-in clinics and other medical services, employment centers, recreation facilities with programs for youth or seniors, career counselling services for women).

• Using the Internet, research the services that you would like to write about. Take notes on the most important information. Decide which information you will include in your report.

While writing your report:

• Draft an outline, including three parts (introduction, body and conclusions).
• Write the content of your report. Format the information so it is easy to read (e.g., you can use tables, columns, bulleted lists). Write three or four paragraphs.
• Edit your report and submit it for assessment.
• Ask one of your peers to edit it for you before publishing.
