DEVELOPMENTAL SCIENCE IN THE NEWS
This assignment is designed to encourage you to think about how developmental issues are conveyed in the public domain, as well as to reinforce material in the text as you make applications to current issues and research.
Find a CURRENT article (within the last year or so) in a news outlet that relates to a topic covered in the chapter/developmental period you are assigned. The article can be from a newspaper or scholarly magazine. I highly recommend the New York Times. Another possibility is Scientific American. Note that you can register for the Scientific American for free and they will send you a weekly news article.
Write a brief reaction paper, covering the following:
1. Title of article, author, date, and where it was publisted. You do NOT need to include a reference page.
2. Intro: A brief summary (no longer than a paragraph) including why the topic interests you. Note: Do not begin your paper by stating the two links you made to the text. First, you need to tell your reader (me) what the article was about (if there was research mentioned, what were the procedure, findings, and limitations?).
3. What material in the chapter/developmental period that you were assigned does this relate to? You must make two explicit connections to concepts and/or research. Please provide the chapter number where this issue or related issues were covered. For example, the NY Times article “Sperm count in Western men has dropped over 50 percent since 1973, paper finds” would be relevant to the discussion of teratogens in chapter 2 (Prenatal development), but also to parenthood discussed in chapter 10 (Young Adulthood). It is fine if one of the applications is from a chapter that you were not assigned.
4. How would you evaluate the article’s level of coverage of the issue? In other words, was the article clear or was there important information missing that made it hard to interpret? For example, they may have mentioned research, but failed to include any information about number of subjects or demographics.
Provide me a link to the article via email a week before your talk. In the subject line, please write “NY Times article for J. Smith on 9/28 , T/F section. ” Then, once I apprive it, post it to the News Forum on Moodle no later than the class before you present so your classmates can read it.
Your written reaction must be submitted on the day of your presention. It should be a maximum of two pages double spaced and free of grammatical errors.
*DO NOT READ DIRECTLY FROM YOUR ARTICLE DURING YOUR TALK. Introduce your topic, briefly summarize what was discussed, and be explicit about how it relates to the text (the two connections mentioned above). A few note cards would be helpful and you may want to begin by telling us why you picked the article you did. No need for ppts. There will likely be links in your article; it is expected that you read related material so that you have extensive background on the material you presen
