Science
Articles
The culminating assignment has two parts: (1) a 20 page scientific article
for a fictitious online science publication, “Ethical Behavior and
Scientific Honesty in the Food Industry”; and, (2) a 3-5 page print
adaptation of the article for a third grade reader.
Online article
Using Eric Schlosser’s, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American
Meal,
and Marion Nestle’s, Food Politics: How the Food Industry Influences
Nutrition and Health: Studies in Food and Culture as primary resources,
write a science article for a well-educated, concerned reader. The article,
on some aspect of food as science, should be informative and persuasive
and may be argumentative as well. As the publication is online, consider
the wide, multicultural audience you will address as well as the visual
expectations, layout, and specifications of an online publication.
You are required to use a minimum of 12 sources, including the course
texts. Use APA citation form for your annotated bibliography.
Print adaptation
The 3-5 page adaptation, on the same topic, for a third grade print publication
will pay special attention to the shifts in audience, purpose, content,
and form.
