I first need to decide my  basic framework. With my main topic or question as a central focus, jot down my initial thoughts and start to group these together …… Start to divide key ideas from subsidiary information, and continually ask myself  if everything is relevant; if it isn’t, then delete it…… From my prior knowledge (from reading and lectures), I should be able to put together a fairly basic structure.

The report should be printed and formatted in an elegant, simple, clear and understandable manner, away from the complexities. The report should be reviewed before printing to ensure that it is error-free and systematically removed. .

I need to gather all relevent data
