Megan's+Post+3.3

I want to consider this final wiki post (ever?!) as my place to celebrate a little about finishing my annotated bibliography. Ith as taken a few long weeks, but being able to print out that completed bib (all 9 or so pages of it) is incredibly exciting. I have gotten to delve deeply into an issue in which I'm very interested and have been able to //really// learn a great deal about something that could really put Alamance county and ABSS on the forefront of American education. I realize that there are serious hindrances facing the implementation of a full-scale program like this, though, especially given the state of the national, state, and local economies. This realization brings me to the one piece that I need before I can write and submit my report: the state of the ABSS budget. I've got a connection on the school board, so I'm planning to interview her to talk a little about what the budget looks like and if it would be feasible to restructure it to create at least a 6-8 program for the county (doubtful, but we'll see!). Once I do that, I'll have everything I need to write my report...and here comes the problem: what does a formal report look like?! Are we talking //A Nation at Risk// report, or something shorter? What is the format of a report? I clearly have a long way to go before this project is finished, but I'm really excited to get to work on the biggest and most important piece of it.


 * Questions:**

1. Have any of you written a formal report before? Why/how did you do it? 2. Do you know any resources I could use to help me compile my report?
