9SOSE: Report writing tips

THE OPERATIONAL METEOROLOGIST SAYS:

Whenever you are writing a report or creating a project for SOSE, proceed as if you are working for a science magazine, constructing a museum display, and so on. Imagine that you are producing something to inform the public rather than just your teacher. Reports are not written in the first person ('I' and 'my' language). Instead of 'My point...' or 'I will show...', use phrases like 'It can be seen that...', 'Clearly...', and so on. It is okay to simply make statements; you don’t need to relate them back to yourself or your own opinion.
