Additional Hints on Preparing the Best Possible Project
- Apply a three-step process of writing: plan, write, and complete.
- Prepare an outline of your research paper before you go forward.
- Complete a first draft and then go back to edit, evaluate, and make any changes required.
- Use visual communication to further clarify and support the written part of your report. For example, you could use graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, animations, video clips, pictograms, tables, or Gantt charts.
