Title: The Future Cancer Cure
The research paper is due tomorrow, but I need it no later than 10pm because i need to submit it by 11:50.
The purpose of this report is to inform doctors and hospitals about vaccination as a new form of cancer treatment. This report will examine if the cancer vaccine better and safer than existing treatments, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy.
I will also upload a file that you can take information from to put in the official research paper.
You must use the 4 sources that I will include and you can pick one additional source that’s a scholar source.
List of the 4 sources:
1. “Cancer Facts & Figures 2018”. “American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org/research/cancer-facts-statistic/all-cancer-facts-figures/cancer-facts-figures-2018.html
2. Conger, Krista. “Cancer “vaccine” eliminates tumors in mice.” News Center, med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2018/01/cancer-vaccine-elimantes-tumors-in-mice-html

2) A Centered Title that reflects the actual content of the paper.
***IMPORTANT: Use subheadings (partitions) to make it easy for the audience to read and quickly identify the various parts of your report.***
3) Introduction —
Introduce your subject with a “hook” to catch the reader’s attention and explain why this topic is important. Statistics are always great attention getters, but they may or may not be the best approach for all introductions. (This is a different introduction than the very formalized introduction for the Technical Description wherein you had to have specific sentences in a specific order. However, you likely can excerpt elements from that other introduction to include in this introduction, especially if you chose to write the importance sentence in your Technical Description introductory paragraph. Additionally, many of you wrote “hook” introductions when you turned in the draft for your Technical Descriptions, and if you did that, in your grading feedback I made a note to “save this for when you write your research report” so now you can use that piece of saved writing.)
Your introduction also needs to include a purpose statement that includes your research question about your topic as well as your intended audience. (This was question #6 that you have already written on your Writing Questions assignment. On that question, you wrote a purpose statement that was two or three sentences long where you took your purpose statement from your Technical Description and added your research question ABOUT your topic (question #5) to it. Be sure to use this purpose statement and not the one from your Technical Description because the Writing Questions one is more comprehensive).
State the main point of your report, which likely will be a very brief preview of what your main conclusion or recommendation will be at the end of your report.
Stress the importance of the topic (required if you are writing an analytical report but optional for activity reports).
Very brief provide background information about the topic (required if you are writing an analytical report but optional for activity reports).
State (forecast/preview) the organization of this report by very briefly listing what the major sections of the report will be, in other words, your subheadings (required if you are writing an analytical report but optional for activity reports).
4) Main Body of the Report Elements (IMPORTANT: Body items will vary based upon report type and topic.) Here are some possible items that might be in the body of your report. You will use some but not all of these.
(You will likely end up using at least four of the items. Helpful tip: You might want to highlight the ones you plan to use.)
*) Definition —
It may be helpful for your report to include a definition of the topic or some key term(s) associated with the topic. For example, you might define the problem or issue that needs to be solved. (Hint: Here is someplace where you can excerpt material from your Technical Description and use either “as is” or modify as needed).
*) Background —
It may be useful for your report to include background information on your topic including history, causes, importance, etc.
(Hint: Here is someplace where you can excerpt material from your Technical Description and use either “as is” or modify as needed).
*) Research Methodology — (typically found in analytical reports)
If you are writing an analytical report, take the reader step-by-step through your research process for writing your Research Report. Which library databases? Did you physically go to a library? How did you conduct internet searches in order to assure you found valid sources? Etc.
*) Literature Review –
This can be a very handy section to include in your report because you can introduce and summarize all of your sources in one place. That way, when you go to do in-text citations or signal phrases later in your paper, you do not have to explain what this or that source is because it has already been covered.
(Hint: Here is someplace where you can excerpt material from your Annotated Bibliography. You will DEFINITELY need to modify your summaries from your Annotated Bibliography because in that document the full citation comes right before your summary. To use the summaries in a literature review section, you will need to write a little narrative introduction to the summary, such as this: On her website Losing Ground, which is about rising sea levels, NOAA scientist Marge Catelin asserts … blah, blah, blah from your annotated bibliography summary of the website. Be sure to add in-text citations as needed since you did not have to put those in your Annotated Bibliography).
*) Summary of Research Results — (typically found in analytical reports)
Analytical reports normally include a summary of the research results. Your research was a “literature review” on the topic since you did not conduct any experiments or field research but instead read about research done by others. If you include this section, you would list two to five results of your research, which you will next discuss and analyze in the “discussion of research results” section.
*) Discussion of Research Results — (typically found in analytical reports)
After the “summary of research results” section in an analytical report, the next section is a discussion (your analysis) of the research results. You will discuss two to five major conclusions based upon your analysis of your research, which as you will remember was your “literature review” since you did not do field research.
*) Report Findings — (this is more typically found in activity reports)
Detail no more than five findings of your report research.
