Reports are formal documents written to provide factual information to those in authority. There are two main types of reports: assessment reports, which evaluate people, places, or things; and proposal reports, which present plans or suggestions for future actions. Reports generally have an introduction stating the purpose, main body with subheadings and details, and conclusion summarizing information and recommendations. They use a formal, impersonal style with factual language, passive voice, and full verb forms. Sample rubrics provide examples of assessment and proposal reports on evaluating a restaurant or making suggestions to attract customers to a bookshop.
