Write a story of your own - 1S1P Report Writing Guidelines

Your story may be fact or fiction.  Fictional stories may include mystery, science fiction, Buddhist Monks, romance, politics, history, just about anything.  The story must fit onto one side of one page and must be double spaced.  There must be a connection of some kind with material or a topic (topics) covered in this course.  Factual stories should recount a close encounter of some kind with unusual or severe weather, an observation of interesting or unusual atmospheric or weather phenomena, or something of that nature.

Stories will be graded using the following criteria:
How strong of a connection is there between your story and course subject matter and how full or thorough is your understanding of the subject material: up to 4 pts.
How interesting, imaginative, or creative is your story: up to 3 pts
The writing quality and/or choice of appropriate writing style: up to 3 pts

For factual stories the connection/creativity categories might be merged into one Observation/Understanding category (how detailed or complete were your observations or understanding of what you saw or experienced).
