The last page of each chapter (right before the “reviewing the science” questions) is a full color page that describes something that was discusses in the chapter. For example- Page 130 has a page called “Does bigger mean better”. Use any of these work pages as the basis of your paper. Your goal is to come up with a question that is answered by that page/ article. That question is going to be the basis of your paper. • Find an article on Scholar.google.com that also relates to your topic / answers your question • Write a comparing or contrasting paper on your article of choice and the article from the textbook • Should be 5 paragraphs long • Intro-Broadly introduce the topic and a specific question (thesis statement) that your paper will focus on • Body 1- Summarize textbook article and how it pertains to your thesis question. Should contain some cited information from textbook • Body 2- Summarize Google scholar article and how it pertains to your thesis question. Should contain some cited information from article. • Body 3 – Compare and/ or contrast the two articles. Should contain 2 citations (1 from each piece) • Conclusion- Wrap up the paper Special Instructions: You should have minimum of two works cited in your works cited page (the textbook and the article). • Your paper should have NO direct quotes in it. There should be no use of “first person” in this paper. No I, Me, we. There should be no third person. No “they state in the paper….), “The authors think that….”, “the authors found that….”. Just state the information as a matter of fact. You should use citations whenever you are referencing something that was spoken about directly or discovered by another work. Example of how to cite: • Cancer is really dangerous but not all cancers are a death sentence. Breast cancer survival rates can be up to x% (Last name, First initial. YEAR). New treatments and early detection methods have made cancer survival rates even better over time. Notice how the statistic I wrote about would have been taken from a source so that is what I am citing in my text. There is no need to use direct quotes or say something along the lines of “The authors found that blah blah…”. Since you are citing them, I already know it was the authors that found it. • Works citied page should be in APA format – EX: Example: – Tavernise, S. (2013). FDA Ruling would all but eliminate trans fats. New York Times, 7.). -2 Authors- (Tavarez, M. and Fogle, R.) – 3 or more authors- (Tavarez, M. et al…….)
