4. When designing slides for a presentation keep
your slides consistent and informative.

distract the readers from the information you
are trying to relay.

slides make your own boxes and headings to
make your slides seem creative and like you
put work into them.

big font to help readers see it, also use clear
and concise information with relatable clipart.

5. • If possible try to use short reports more
often than long reports.
• In these reports only use information that
is relevant and Important not the
unnecessary things that you google
searched or found.
• These short reports are used for helping
businesses make a decision.

quickly find the information they need.

6. • Short reports are also used for problem solving and
proposing different alternatives.
• In short Reports you must convince your business
and audience why your solution is better than the
current one in use.
• In an informative report you use information that
you have found and show what you have done,
Feasibility reports propose alternatives and
recommend one to the company, and Justification
reports help tell why that recommendation is good
and how it can help the company.
• Use specific and polite questions when doing the
reports.

7. • When finding information make sure all
the information is from a credible source
not just information that is full of bad
information.

necessary but you can use it for the
websites they get the info from.

you remain unbiased about the subject and
analyze from both sides or view points.

necessary points so that you can narrow
down the important information that you

sure that you run a spell check and look over
your report for any grammar errors.

9. With Persuasive messages you need to convince your
audience to buy your product or go with what you are
saying.
• In persuasive messages you need to give your audience
some incentive to read and respond to your message.
• If there is no incentive or reward people are less likely
to want to hear them.
• Also you need to approach audiences that are more
acceptable to your message so that they can be more
open to making the change and doing what you want
them to do.
•

10. • Proposals are used to present your
project idea to management.
• A good proposal is straight to the
point and directly lets the manager
know how the certain product or idea
will help the company
• If there is no incentive and no real
benefit to readers of your proposal
then it will most likely be unheard and
uninterested.
