Content
Here are some of the questions you
should try to address in your report. What is St. Elmo's Fire (if
you mention the term corona or coronal discharge you should try to
explain that)? Where did it get it's name? What causes it
and where or under what circumstances might you observe St. Elmo's
Fire? What does it look like (and sound like)? Have you
ever personally seen St. Elmo's Fire or something that you now thing
might have been St. Elmo's Fire? You can include some of the
observations and references in literature if so inclined.
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. Remember 1S1P
reports must be double spaced and must fit onto one side of one page.
