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.
