The illustrations should be included separately.Introduction—Use a header on your paper. This will indicate you are introducing your paper.The purpose of an introduction or opening should do the following.Introduce the subject and why the subject is important.Preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be covered.Establish a tone of the document.Include in the introduction a reason for the audience to read the paper. Also include an overview of what you are going to cover in your paper and the importance of the material. (This should include or introduce the questions you are asked to answer on each assignment.)Body of Your Report—Use a header titled with the name of your project. Example: The Development of Hotel X—A World Class Resort. Then proceed to break out the main ideas. State the main ideas state major points in each idea and provide evidence. Break out each main idea you will use in the body of your paper. Show some type of division such as separate sections that are labeled separate group of paragraphs or headers. You would include the information you found during your research and investigation.Summary and Conclusion—Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your report. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the tourism industry.Work Cited—Use the citation format as specified in the Syllabus.Additional hints on preparing the best possible project are as follows.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.The following are the best practices in preparing this paper.Create a separate title page which includes name paper title and university.Include an introductory paragraph that identifies the paper’s content: Introduce the subject and the reason it is important preview the main ideas and the order in which they will be covered and establish the document’s tone.Include a concluding paragraph that provides a summary of the major points from the paper.Use a formal writing style for academic writing (sharing information and facts or theory).Write your paper in third person.Fully describe the concepts and theories. (What does the information mean?)Apply a three-step process of writing: Plan write and complete.When making a statement for example all people who break the law should improve their communication skills to stay out of jail you must substantiate that statement. If that statement is not your own thought or a statistic cite it. If it is your opinion state that it is and explain the information that led to that conclusion. Provide enough information to validate and explain statements.Minimize copied information which just teaches you how to copy and paste. Use critical-thinking skills to understand the material researched.
