Hello There please can anyone help me if I am on right track

Question 1. Select a type of workplace document. How do you establish the key points to include in it?
My Answer is
While writing document you need to be well-planned, prepared, focused, committed, and most importantly, passionate towards what you are writing. If you establish all the key points mentioned, the odds of writing a well-appreciated text will be in your favour.

Establishing Key Points to Writing a Document

Once you have put your ideas on paper, the next step would be to present it in a simple, logical, connected and clear manner. This needs planning and preparation, for which there are some steps we should follow such as:

Appropriate language
Plain English (free of jargon)
Simple sentences
Relevant content
Use of bullet points
Conciseness
Constant improvement
Research

Researching on any topic is a very critical step before writing.  You need reliable and widely accepted sources. Before you identify and develop your topic, you should find the context and background information on your topic.  Books, articles, journals, news sources, and magazines can be used for reference. The following steps can help such as:

Note the important and relevant details.

Evaluate each point against the topic and the purpose of your document.

Record the details of your resources and references (i.e. author, title and publishing)

Arrange the content in a logical order under appropriate headings and sub-headings.

Purpose

You need to know your audience that will give a lot of help in deciding the content and the way you should approach it. Before you begin to write, try to understand always what your reason of writing is. It could be related to something as:

Providing information
Presenting your opinion
Proposing ideas
Sending reports
Recommendations
A desired action
Reaching an accomplishment
Writing the Document

Once you have identified your audience, try to anticipate the information that your reader might think necessary and include it in your document as you write by following some rule as:

Answering yourself question “Who? What? Why? Where? When? Whom? How?” will give you a head-start on the content of the writing.

After collecting all possible ideas you could go through them. After that, find out the idea that will leave the maximum impact on reading it, and put that at the start of the article. The end should summarise all the ideas in a clear manner.

Always get your written text checked by somebody before submitting it. Don’t do this if the content is confidential and not to be shared.

Once your friends have suggested some changes, implement the ones you think are relevant.

What type of workplace document are you referring to? Such as a policy document... Key points in a policy document will include information from the national regs and law, etc.
