Content

Here are some of the topics you might try to include in your report:
What causes the equinxoes, how is the earth oriented relative to the plane of its orbit around the earth.  Describe the path of the sun in the sky on the equinoxes.  What does the name equinox refer to?  Why should you be careful crossing a street on the equinoxes.  What is Manhattanhenge?  You might try to sketch, photograph the location of the sun on the horizon at sunrise or sunset.

Writing Quality       

Explain the material in your own words - your report should be your understanding and explanation of the material.  Avoid generalities, 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.  There is a manageable amount of information for this topic, you shouldn't have any trouble fitting your report onto one side of one page.  Remember that 1S1P reports must also be double spaced (a handwritten report can be single spaced).

Your report should be nearly free of misspelled words and grammatical errors.
