Informative report outline

Brainstorm:

For my informative report, I would like to talk about social media and how it affects the mental, physical, and psychological health. Since social media is used in everyday life, I thought why not use a topic that can possibly relate to.

Outline:

Introduction – start off with getting the reader’s attention. Keep it short and simple but still give detail about the topics discussed.
First body: I will speak about the effects social media has mentally.
Second body: I will speak about how social media affects the body physically.

Third body: I will talk about how it affects the body psychologically/emotionally
