You can earn up to 7 points for report content and up to 5 pts for writing quality.


Content

You should try to address the following questions in your report.  What are the Santa Ana winds?  Are they hot or cold, dry or moist?  Explain why.  Where and when do they occur?  How long do they last?  What causes them to occur?  Explain the association between Santa Ana winds and sometimes disastrous brush fires.  Are there any beneficial effects caused by the Santa Ana winds?

The Wikipedia article is long; you probably only need to read a few short parts of it for your report. 

Writing Quality

Explain the material in your own words - your report should be your understanding and explanation of the material.  Your report should be well organized; the separate sections or paragraphs of your paper should blend together into one seamless coherent report.  Your report should be nearly free of misspelled words and grammatical errors.

You don't need to cite the three suggested sources, include citations of any additional sources that you use.
