Documentary Film Treatment

For Issues in Documentary, I have to make a documentary film treatment. Unfortunately, I am some what lost as how to write it. My instructor is Jeni Thornley who is herself a documentary filmmaker, but I am getting little information how how to do the actual synopsis and script treatment. Jeni seems to be putting more emphasis on how to get funding and submitting the proposal. The website links she gave us are just not that helpful. I am actually looking online.

So from some PDFs I found, I found the following books which I will be borrowing. Gosh, I feel like I can learn filmmaking myself.
