    Here are some questions you might address in your
        report.  What is the Beaufort Scale?  When was it
        created and what was it originally used for?  My hope is
        that after reading about the Beaufort Scale you might be able to
        go outdoors and make a reasonably accurate estimate of wind
        speed.  What kinds of signs or clues would you look
        for?  At what speeds do winds become damaging and
        hazardous?  How fast are the winds in a hurricane?  
    
      
      Writing Quality
    
      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. 
        The separate sections or paragraphs of your paper should blend
        together into one seamless coherent report (and note your report
        should contain separate paragraphs with one main idea per
        paragraph).  Your report should be nearly free
        of misspelled words and grammatical errors. If you use any
        additional reference sources, be sure to cite them.
