1S1P Lake Effect report writing guidelines

The Lake Effect - 1S1P Report Writing Guidelines

You can earn up to 8 points on this report. Your report will be judged on its clarity and content.

Content

Your report should be a clear concise synopsis of what happened this past week in Buffalo and its cause. This was an unusual event. What conditions are necessary in order for such large snowfall amounts to be observed? When during the year are snow storms like this most likely to occur?

Writing Quality

Explain the material in your own words - your report should be your understanding and explanation of the material. Try to include specific details and examples from the reading section. The separate parts of your paper should blend together into one seamless coherent report. Your report should be nearly free of misspelled words and grammatical errors.

This is supposed to be an opportunity to quickly and easily earn a few 1S1P points. You only need to read the reference material that was assigned, but there has been a lot of coverage in the situation in Buffalo this week. If you use something other than the online notes to prepare your report, you should include a citation.
