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 and why is it of
concern?
Where does radon come from?
How or where would radon exposure most likely occur?
How could you determine whether you are being exposed to
hazardous concentrations of radon?
How could 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. Even a short report like this should probably
contain a few separate paragraphs that blend together into one
seamless 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.
