Content
I will probably have to read these
reports quickly. As I read your report I will be trying to
determine whether you have understood and learned about this
topic. You don't have to write about all the winds. Valley
and mountain breezes are common and relatively easy to
understand. They form pretty nearly everyday in some
locations. Which of these could cause clouds to form?
Why? You might discuss katabatic and/or Chinook winds if you find
the material interesting. Everyone should probably discuss Santa
Ana winds because they often play a big role in catastrophic California
brush fires. And dust storms are a concern here in southern
Arizona.
Writing Quality
Explain the material in your own
words - your report should be your understanding and explanation of the
material. I will be looking for a clear, accurate,
well organized report. This is easier to do if you have a good
understanding of the material.
