Line 3: Source (name of newspaper or URL ) Line 4: Date of publication, section, page number, or date you visited the of web site. Line 5: Title of articleSources:You may use newspapers which are dated within one year of the first day of this term. On-line versions of these media are also acceptable. You are looking for a newspaper article addressing an area of physiology which is not covered or has limited coverage in the text book. New discoveries, diseases, and ethics issues are some examples of the article topics students have successfully used in the past. Remember this is a physiology course; please use articles with a clear connection to physiology topics. The article should report on a physiology topic or research. The article may be focused on a single research finding or it can be a generalized summary. The article should be less than one year old and provided to the instructor when the report is submitted.

PHYSIOLOGY IN THE NEWS: CONNECTIONS WITH THE TEXT
Objectives:
1. To become more familiar with some new information about physiology (including genetics,
biochemistry, medicine, etc.) current events reported daily in popular media and develop an
understanding of how it connects with the physiology text book.
2. To develop an introduction or boxed text section in a style and with similar content as shown
by examples in the lecture text.
3. To practice using science as it is presented in the media and sharing this information with
peers.
Sources:
You may use newspapers which are dated within one year of the first day of this term. On-line
versions of these media are also acceptable. You are looking for a newspaper article addressing
an area of physiology which is not covered or has limited coverage in the text book. New
discoveries, diseases, and ethics issues are some examples of the article topics students have
successfully used in the past. Remember this is a physiology course; please use articles with a
clear connection to physiology topics.
The article should report on a physiology topic or research. The article may be focused on a
single research finding or it can be a generalized summary. The article should be less than one
year old and provided to the instructor when the report is submitted. A URL should be included
in the Heading if using a web-based newspaper.
Method and Product:
Using a newspaper article with a topic focused on some aspect of physiology, develop an
introduction to one of the chapters or a boxed text section (for example: Running Problems,
Clinical Focus, Emerging Concepts, Biotechnology, or Try It) from the text book. Put yourself
in the place of an editor of the next edition of the text. You want to add topics which are current
and/or of interest to the reader. The topic you choose should be one that fits into the text book
and part of your this assignment involves finding a good location for your section. Make it
interesting! Including quotes from or information about the scientists has been a good tactic for
students.
1. Grammar and Style:
You should demonstrate effective and appropriate writing. Does each paragraph have a
topic sentence? Is the style flowing and easily read? Is it obvious you reviewed your writing
before submitting it? Do nouns and verbs agree? Are spelling errors kept to a minimum?
2. Did you follow the format? Your report should be typed. It should as long or as
short as you think is required to adequately explain the topic. Make sure you include where
in the text you would insert your writing. Some topics may fit in several places. Choose the
text sections which best fit the angle you took with your topic. It is often helpful to reference
other areas of the text book (page XX) if another area of the text supports your writing.
The two major areas are Heading (see below) and Style. Use the heading guideline below and
write in a style which fits into your text (not too informal). Deviation from this format will
result in a loss of points.
Heading:
Line 1: Your name.
Line 2: Chapter where you would place your article.
Line 3: Source (name of newspaper or URL )
Line 4: Date of publication, section, page number, or date you visited the of web site.
Line 5: Title of article
3. How well did you use the information in the article? You should find and focus on the
major concepts or topics in the newspaper article. Do not summarize, but rather use the
information in the article to introduce your writing, provide background information for the
reader and/or make connections with the text. You may bring in information from other
articles or sources.
4. How well did you place the article? A major part of the writing assignment is identifying
the chapter of the text where your writing fits within the text. Make sure to include where
you recommend placing your writing in the heading. It should be placed so that it supports
or expands on the material before and after it.
5. How much value did you add to the text? You should be looking for topics or research that
you find interesting. Your job is to find and use information that students will want to read
and will help them gain an insight into an area of biology. Ask yourself: Is this topic
interesting? Does the article bring a new slant on material covered in the text? If available in
the article, did I include quotes from the scientists? Did I address any competing ideas or
theories? Did I help the student make a connection with text material and the “real world”?
