Research Report

Standard 8:  Use a word processing program to create and format docs with academic and business styles (business letters)...

Research papers are documents in which you research books, magazines, articles and other sources to determine your own thesis and thoughts that will be helpful and informational to the reader.

 Remember! Plagiarism is stealing and is illegal.  You must use your own thoughts and words developed after extensive research on your topic.

Your instructors may give you specific requests for a paper due to them.

Let's look at a sample research report:

Business Letters and Personal Business Letters

Standard 8:  Use a word processing program to create and format docs with academic and business styles (business letters)...

What's the difference between a business letter and a personal business letter?

 A business letter is formal communication that is sent from a business and may have preprinted letterhead at the header and/or footer of the page.

A personal business letter is formal communication sent by an individual (without header/logo preprinted as header or footer) to an individual or business.

Let's try it!

The template for the Business Letter can be found in the keyboarding textbook on page 177.

Guided Practice:  Complete the Business letter on page 177

Independent Practice:  Complete the three business letters on page 183 using the text in the main part of the page as the body of the letter.  Carefully follow instructions in the left (yellow) margin for specific instructions for each letter.  When you complete the first letter insert a page break (or press enter until it begins the next page) to begin the following letters.  This allows for all three to be just one doc sent to me.  Email to me as an attachment to my gmail @ julie6davis@gmail.com.  The email subject line should read "Business Letters."

The template for the Personal Business Letter can be found in the keyboarding textbook on page 78.

Guided Practice:  Complete the Personal Business letter on page 78.

Independent Practice:  Complete the personal business letter 2 on page 81.  In the same doc complete the Personal business letter 1 on page 82 and letter 2 on page 83 using the text in the main part of the page as the body of the letter.  Carefully follow instructions in the left (yellow) margin for specific instructions for each letter.  When you complete the first letter insert a page break (or press enter until it begins the next page) to begin the following letters.  This allows for all three to be just one doc sent to me.  Email to me as an attachment to my gmail @ julie6davis@gmail.com.  The email subject line should read "Personal Business Letters."
