"Hi, I'm Laura from youngwritersworkshops.com and I'm going to talk about how to write a case study. Case study is a really good way to demonstrate an problem and its solution and something really important to remember is to move from general to specific to back to general when you're writing a case study. So for example, if you're writing about a single parent, you might start with what the problem or the issue is that you're addressing in this case study, a little bit of an overview about the issue and then move to the specific where you talk about this one specific single parent, what her situation is, give some of the details as much description as you can that illustrates your study, and then back out to the general, so what is learned from this case study, how it applies, how it might apply to the general audience. Use that specific case that you looked at and described to talk about the more general issue again and draw some conclusions. Be sure to also use a title that will draw the reader in, discussing what the case is going to be about, make it a title that catches the interest of the reader and also expresses well what you're studying in the case. Somethings to remember are to move from general to specific to back to general, to use a lot of detail and description, and to make a final conclusion about what this case, how it applies to the more broad audience, and those are some things to remember about writing a case study."
