How do you write a short report?
I have an assignment to write a short report but I never wrote anything like that and the book provides no examples. its supposed to be on social networking and its like a "mix and match" technique that we are supposed to use to match our sources info in our subtopics and then mix all the wording from sources together. No matter how many times I read the directions I do not get a single thing on top of that I am employed at a company as a teenager so it is a company that doesn't allow any social networking at work so what am I supposed to write about? I just don't understand at all what the subtopics should be of it and am having a hard time even starting. it should be memo format and if someone understands what to do and can explain or help me get started? Greatly appreciated.
Update:These kind of advices are in the book. what gets me stuck is examples (subtopics) and how you start this "short report" to your boss.

The report should use the memo format, with the main contents written in paragraphs that are roughly 4-5 sentences in length. Your report should include these subtopics: Problems with Social Networking in the Workplace; Benefits and Uses; Recommendations. Each subtopic should be 1-2 paragraphs long and should have its own heading. Add an introductory paragraph that sets up the report for your reader and a short concluding paragraph.
You write everything that you want to write about on the subject matter that you are interested in, then make it shorter like a quick summary. It will turn out well for you. Try it, it is much easier than you think. God's blessings!
You have just written one about never having written one. Well done.
The 5Ws and the H in the opening paragraph: who, what, where, when, why and how.
