REPORT TEXT (CLASSIFYING REPORT AND
COMPOSITIONAL REPORT)
1. The term report text is also known as information report.
2. Report texts organize our experiences of the world for us;
they are used to record, organise, and store information
relating to categories of things.
3. Information reports are closely connected to educational
settings and workplaces; in particular, they are a major
vehicle for apprenticing individuals into the discourse
communities connected with science and technology.
4. The texts are concerned with general categories of things
rather than events and happenings and with informing
about technical and scientific topics.
5. Moreover, it can be used to organise and describe a field
or topic according to its part (a part or whole part). A
technology report (e.g. electric cars) will have lots of
information describing a general explanation of how they
work and come into parts of cars (that is called an
compositional report).
6. The Definitions:
- Report texts are texts which concerned with general
categories of things rather than events and happenings
and with informing about technical and scientific
topics. Because of this, they can seldom be interpreted
and constructed without knowledge of the field and its
associated language.
- Report text is a text which presents information about
something, as it is. It is as a result of systematic
observation and analyses.
7. Report texts are divided into four types, namely
classifying, compositional, comparative and historical
reports.
8. The classifying and the compositional report are
learned in this third learning activity.
9. The Purpose:
The purpose of the text is to organise and describe a field or
topic into a class and subclass hierarchy.
10. The Social Functions:
- The social function of classifying report is to
organise and describe a field or topic into a class and
subclass hierarchy
- The social function of composiitional report is to
organise and describe a field or topic according to its
part (a part or whole part).
11. The Generic Structures:
- The major focus is on a “thing” (or, more accurately,
a class of things whether natural or made) rather than a
sequence. Report texts are often referred to as
 information repots. We use the term “information
report” as a general term to refer to all of different
kinds of report texts.
- The first part of the Report is usually introduced by
an opening general statement/general classification,
locating what is being talked about in the universe of
things. It often takes the form of a classification or
definition (e.g. Bikes are a popular form of
transport). Sometimes the opening statement may
also indicate a particular aspect of the topic that is
being treated (e.g. There are many different types of
bike in Australia).
- The rest parts of the Report will consist of facts
about various aspects of the subject.
These facts will be grouped into topic areas, each
marked by a topic sentence to indicate the particular
aspect of the subject being dealt with. Each aspect
might be elaborated by referring to distinctive
characteristics of the subject (color, shape, habits,
behavior, etc.), or by giving examples, or by
comparing, contrasting and classifying, or by
describing components and their function.
- Reports do not usually contain an “ending”,
although sometimes the detailed information is
rounded off by some general statement about the
topic (e.g. Stamps can provide hours of enjoyment for
young and old). Paragraphing should help to organise
the information effectively. Sub-headings or other
graphic devices may be used to introduce different
areas of the topic.

- Use Nouns And Noun Phrases
