The document provides instructions for writing a report by outlining the research process. Students should first pick a subject for their report, then brainstorm 3 topics within that subject to use as paragraphs. They should take notes from multiple resources on each topic using 3-5 word phrases, creating a separate outline for each resource. Finally, the outlines should be combined into a single "fused outline" to write the report from, containing all the notes on each topic from every resource in one place.
