SBA- The Written Report

The Written Report - CXC English SBA
WRITTEN REPORT deliberate
According to CXC, "the written report of the investigation should be a summary of the
processes, procedures and outcomes of the research. It should include the material collected,
reasons for selection and analysis of the material."
A satisfactory report should be about 250-300 words in total. It is worth 10 marks.
KEY TERMS
Processes: Focus on describing how the group collected the three pieces that were most
appropriate for the group report and the difficulties you may have experienced doing so. If the
group had no difficulties, give a reason for this.
Procedures: Summarize how the group went about analyzing the materials. For example, what
was done to achieve the objectives of the research? How did the group decode/analyze the
material? What did the analysis reveal? The analysis covers the relevance of the
material/stimuli/pieces and the artistic/visual/literary/aural features of what is selected.
Outcomes: Focus on your experience as a group and your impressions. Outcomes cover the new
knowledge gained about the theme/the selection process/the group as members who were
involved in the research. Strategically summarize the findings that the pieces/stimuli provided by
way of individual and group analysis.
The written report is a collaborative effort which means you must meet as often as possible to
share your ideas on what you wish to include in the report. It should show evidence of research
and appropriate referencing.
Paragraph Outline
Introductory Paragraph: State the theme that the group has selected and how this was done. Also,
identify the topics that group members are focusing on.
Second Paragraph: Summarize how you worked as a group to select the three pieces for the
report. Share strategies that were used to do so. Explain the reasons for the selection of these
pieces.
Third and Fourth Paragraphs: Analyze the selected pieces and highlight what they communicate
about the theme. Appropriate referencing should be used when citing sources. For
example, Ireland (2017) states that skin bleaching should be approached cautiously. (Your
teachers will provide information on citing sources.) Also, you can discuss how the content of
the pieces impacted the perceptions or attitudes of group members.
Each member of a group will include the same written report in his or her portfolio.
Assessment: The group report is assessed for an identification of the contexts in which pieces
were chosen, a description of the tasks done in selecting the materials, analysis of the material,
and appropriate citation of sources and use of language.
Your Written Report should fulfill certain requirements. Note below what it should cover.
Paragraph One (Describe the process)
What is the group’s theme/topic?
What are the sub-themes/sub-topics focused on by the group members?
How was the group formed? Unhealthily
How did you choose your theme and why?
How were the sub-topics of the group members selected?
Paragraph Two (Describe the procedure)

How did the group members go about searching for their pieces?
Did the group members help each other to source their pieces?
What process or system was used by the group to select the three (3) pieces for the group activity
and written report? Did the group have meetings? Did group members have discussions? Were
group members given the opportunity to defend the usefulness of their pieces? Were votes cast?
Why were the three specific pieces chosen for the group report? What outstanding qualities did
they have?
Paragraph Three (Analysis of the Language)

Discuss the information that each piece gives on the theme and how it is significant. You can
even highlight the effectiveness of language devices. Sources should be appropriately referenced
using the MLA* or APA* format.
*WE WILL DISCUSS REFERENCES IN A SUBSEQUENT LESSON.
