Notes and reports

I am hereby making a document available with tips on taking notes with the intention of writing reports.  There is also some information on how to write reports by expanding from given information, e.g., in an advertisement, which may not consist of full sentences, .

Here is a text from The Economist, which you can read and write a summary report on.  Those of you who could not join us today, this article is to be read with the intention of writing a summary of not longer than one 1.5-spaced page.  If you can send me the summary before our next session on 28th of April, we can talk about it during our workshop.

Here is a speech text, which can be used as an exercise for taking notes and writing a summary.

Here is a stream of a BBC news piece, which you can watch once as you take notes.  You can then bring the notes to a summary report.

Here you can find four advertisements, each one of which can be expanded into a report.
