๐Ÿ“š How to Write a Little Report

Introduction

A report is a short story about something you have learned or seen. It tells the important parts in a clear order, just like a puzzle that fits together.

1. What Is a Report?

Think of a report as a Miniโ€‘book about a topic.

  • You start with a title (the name of your report).
  • Then you share the main facts, like โ€œWhat happened?โ€ and โ€œWhat did I see?โ€

2. Parts of a Report

PartWhat It Does
TitleTells the reader the subject (e.g., My Garden Adventure).
IntroductionSays why you are writing (e.g., โ€œI want to show how a seed grows.โ€).
DetailsGives the important facts in order (stepโ€‘byโ€‘step).
ConclusionWraps up with what you learned or liked most.

3. How to Write One

  1. Pick A Topic you love โ€“ a bug, a toy, a trip.
  2. Gather Facts โ€“ look, listen, draw, or ask questions.
  3. Make A List of the facts in the order you will share them.
  4. Write Simple Sentences using โ€œI sawโ€ฆโ€ โ€œFirstโ€ฆ Thenโ€ฆโ€ โ€œFinallyโ€ฆโ€.
  5. Add A Picture if you can; drawings make reports fun!

4. Why Reports Are Helpful

How Volcanoes Form

Volcanoes grow where tectonic plates collide or drift apart. Heat melts rock into light, buoyant magma that rises, cools, and hardens near the surface, building the cone layer by layer.
