This chapter is basically about how to create a good report. Good reports are based off of facts, not your personal opinions. The authors acknowledge that separating facts and opinions can be hard sometimes and give examples of good reports during the chapter. According to Everyone's An Author, "the primary goal of a report is to present factual information to educate an audience in some way," (Lunsford, Brody, Ede, Moss, Papper, Walters 253). It is important that the writer is objective and doesn't insert their own position on the issue or topic in the report.

If your audience doesn't understand the terms you are using, then your report probably won't be very effective. Writers should include examples in their definitions and use headings to organize them. The authors want you to keep in mind that there is no best way to organize a report; the methods and strategies for organization will change depending on the type of report you are writing. You will not always have to choose how to organize your report; if you use the IMRAD strategy, then the layout for your report is already set for you. IMRAD stands for introduction, methods, results, and discussion. When writing a report, it is important to always have a confident tone. If you do not have a confident tone in your writing, the audience may not consider your information to be as reliable. A confident tone conveys that you know what you're talking about and will make the audience think of your report as a trustworthy source. The chapter also says that it is important that your tone is informative. Your job is to inform the audience about your topic. It is important to remember that you are only informing, not persuading; the audience should not be able to figure out what your position is on the topic at hand from your report. It should also be noted that word choice can have a big impact on your
The tone in a document changes how we feel about it and generates a reaction in a certain way. I feel the author uses different tones to try to change people’s feelings and reaction to the problem they are facing.

Mandated reports are a genre that is a part of numerous careers. Mandated reports are used by mandated reporters which are designate groups of professionals that are required to report cases of suspected child abuse and neglect. A mandated report has a specific way that it has to be field out because the severity of the information is a massive part in helping save an abused or neglected child from being endangered. This research analyzes the difference between the different documentations in mandating reporting and how one reports various from another. The next step is to investigate where and who the forms are turned into. I’ll be looking at the Social Worker perspective because it’s the field of study I’m going in and would potentially help me when I begin my career in children and family services. Giving the information about mandated reports would educate me on the all the factual information needed after receiving a mandate report and from the information gathered, how do they deiced whether or not it’s a serious case or not. This research would uncover every aspect from beginning to end of the entire process of when a report is submitted up until the discussion is made on what to do after reviewing the information. The report is used my any profession to report suspect child abuse or neglect at any time or place. There is a different between different careers on how the report is written depending on the person submitting it. The very last step is going in depth with analyzing the actual form and comparing and contrasting it to other forms from different states. I want to also look at, the different between the forms, depending on who is the attended audience.

Hadas stated, “write in a way that comes natural, but it takes time to write in your natural voice.” This is an inspiring phrase that Rachel stated, because it is one of my weaknesses in writing. I tend to start my papers after reading other people’s work on the same topic, so I can follow in their footsteps in order to write a good paper. But this is not a great strategies because, we tend to shot down the voices inside of us, just to write like someone else. Now that I realized that good writing comes in a natural tone of voice, I need to work on my writings more, by thinking more compiling my own ideas in a draft. Therefore, writing in a natural tone is one of the greatest strategies to become a successful writer, and the way to do this is writing a couple of drafts to get all the ideas

Writing can be very frustrating; laying your ideas out on paper so that others can grasp the concept you are trying to convey is a very difficult task. In Writing 101 I have learned how to formulate good theses that are arguable and also how to validate articles that have to do with my topic. The most important element of a paper is the thesis statement. It captures the reader's attention and tells them what the essay is about. Having a well-structured thesis along with evidence to support that thesis are the main ingredients to a well-written essay. I have also learned how important it is to research an author’s background to ensure their credibility. This is a very important step in writing because today we can find information on a topic, however, it is not valid.
