How do I Write a Report on Anti-Racism?

Writing a report on any subject requires preparation before the actual writing begins. If your topic is anti-racism, then you have many resources to use. According to the Anti-Defamation League, "racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another and that a person's social or moral traits are predetermined by his or her inborn biological characteristics." Purdue's online writing lab (see the Resources section) provides a good framework for preparing an academic report on anti-racism.

  1. Determine Scope

    • 1

      Determine the scope of your report. Is it about the history of anti-racism or modern day examples. For instance, a report about the anti-slavery abolitionist movement covers a broad range of sub-topics and an expansive time period, according to the Library of Congress Exhibition.

      Compose a list of specific identifiable groups that you consider victims of racism, such as the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa, suggests the Global Security website. In addition, anti-racism to indigenous Australians, American Indians, Asians and other identifiable groups are options for report topics.

    • 3

      Prepare an outline of the topic and sub-topic areas that you have chosen. The outline is a useful tool for organizing your thoughts, determining research material needs and forming a cohesive final report product, according to Purdue's Online Writing Lab. Conduct research using resources available at the library or online. If you are researching 2010 current events, you will find anti-racism topics in the schism involving anti-Middle Eastern and anti-American sentiments. You may find websites that provide excerpts of many primary resource materials.

    • 4

      Prepare a draft report. The draft allows the writer to begin the process of transforming ideas into a concrete format. You may determine that the topic is too broad, like the anti-slavery and the abolitionist movement. Your research using the Library of Congress reference (see the Resources section) as a guide reveals many topics for your report. Thus, you may need to narrow down your theme.

    • 5

      Write the report utilizing your draft as a guide. The final report should be concise and avoid the passive voice. A good report provides the quintessential information to the audience and avoids redundancy, according to the Capital Community website. The site includes formats, research, end notes, footnotes, grammar and bibliography information (see the Resources section). The final touch is to read your final report with an objective eye to determine if it offers the reader insightful information about the topic of anti-racism.
