Academic Writing vs Inverted Pyramid Style

Gostei tanto do meu último post, que decidi ainda espremer um pouco mais a sua matéria-prima. Além de uma boa história, detalha informação interessante.


Academic Writing:

... opens with a problem statement, elaborates on the background, discusses influencing factors and finally states the conclusions.

Inverted Pyramid Style:

... give me the right information in the right detail, without going into unnecessary explanations.

1. Punch line: The facts; no adjectives, adverbs or modifiers. "Milestone 4 wasn't hit on time, and we didn't start Task 8 as planned." Or, "Received charter approval as planned."

2. Current status: How the punch-line statement affects the project. "Because of the missed milestone, the critical path has been delayed five days."

3. Next steps: The solution, if any. "I will be able to make up three days during the next two weeks but will still be behind by two days."

4. Explanation: The reason behind the punch line. "Two of the five days' delay is due to late discovery of a hardware interface problem, and the remaining three days' delay is due to being called to help the customer support staff for a production problem."
