How to layout a Geography Case Study/Report/Investigation?
A major assessment for my final year of highschool is:
To write a COMPARATIVE REPORT which examines the ways in which cities have implemented sustainable planning strategies and policies to manage urban problems. This report will focus on Perth and New York city.
My question is; is there a set format or 'layout' of a comparative report? Does anyone have any suggestions or links on how to write up a really good and effective report? Any links to sites showing how to set up reports?
Thanks to all who answer :)
Geographers tend to use a modified version of the scientific method for reports. Section headers will vary, but will include some combination of: introduction, the problem, the question, background, hypothesis/expected results, literature review, data, methods, solutions, and conclusions. A strong thesis statement is required. Something like, "Perth and New York City have implemented different sustainable planning strategies and policies to manage urban problems and their results have varied."
The body of a comparative report can be formatted in one of two ways: all the topics relating to Perth, then all the topics relating to NYC (usually the same topics and order of presentation), OR topic A about Perth, then NYC, topic B about Perth, then NYC, etc.
Geographers also tend to use the APA format. Googling "APA format" will give you several websites with instructions and examples.
