Content
Here are some of the main points to think about while you read
about
radon and to discusss when you write your report:
What is radon?
Where does radon come from?
What are some of the health risks associated with exposure to
radon.
How or where would radon exposure most likely occur?
How can you reduce the possibility of exposure to radon?
Writing Quality
Here are some things you can do to maximize your chances of
earning a
high writing quality grade:
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. Your report should
be
nearly free of misspelled words and grammatical errors.
You really shouldn't need to read anything other than the
American Cancer Society article to prepare your report. If
you do use any other sources you should include a citation.
