Enhanced Fujita Scale - 1S1P Report Writing Guidelines

You can earn up to 6 points for report content and up to 4 pts for writing quality.


Content

Here are some questions that you might address in your report.  What are the Fujita Scale (F Scale) and the Enhanced Fujita  Scale (EF Scale) used for?  Why was the original Fujita Scale replaced with the Enhanced Fujita Scale.  Try to create a simplified version of the EF Scale of your own.  I.e. what one or two characteristics of damage would you use to determine the EF scale rating of a tornado. Define or explain the terms Damage Indicator and Degrees of Damage.

Writing Quality

Explain the material in your own words - your report should be your understanding and explanation of the material.  Avoid generalites, 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. If you use any additional refererence sources, be sure to cite them.
