This is your "Current Events Forum." In this conference you will be presenting a well written summary paper of a scientific article you have recently read. Please read all directions carefully a few times before starting.
Your assignment is to choose an article that deals with this class and explain to us, in your own words, what the article is about and why it is important. When choosing an article to read, please be sure it is long enough. If your "article" is only a short synopsis itself, it will not be long enough to write about. Here is an example of two articles that are long enough. It is up to you to find the articles:
http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20060909/bob9.asp
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=genetics-of-childhood-trauma
Please do not email me and say you cannot find ones long enough. It is up to you to locate them.
SO, HOW DOES THIS WORK?
First, select and read your current event article.
Second, write your summary paper. Your current events paper should be labeled 1-6 exactly as shown below:
Title of the article
Author's name
Date the article was published
Exact URL where we can read the article
Number 5 should be a thorough summary of the information given in the article. This must to be a clearly thought-out and educated synopsis where you explain the relevant information in your article.
Explain how this relates to our class.
