Content

You should explain how rainbows are created.  Do you need to look toward or away from the sun?  Does the sun need to be high or low in the sky?   How is white sunlight split into colors (you should mention refraction and perhaps dispersion)?  Why is there sometimes a secondary rainbow?  Where is it relative to the primary rainbow?  How is it different from the primary rainbow?  What are and where are the supernumerary arcs?

Writing Quality

Explain the material in your own words - your report should be your understanding and explanation of the material.  Avoid generalites, try to include specific details and examples from the reading section.  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.
