ClearTips: Riveting reports

Review your line of argument

To distinguish the levels of your headings, use a marker to circle all your A-level section headings and underline all your B-level subsection headings. Are there blocks of argument that would work better elsewhere? Look first at your sections, seeing whether you should move any of them. Next look at your subsections—and then at your paragraphs. Ask yourself whether your ideas flow in a logical and obvious way. If not, you may want to change some of your section and subsection headings to make the progression of your argument clearer.
