So for my project 3 I wrote a lit review examining 5 scholarly sources on the affects of psychology on sports performance. Now for project 4, I need to take the lit review and write on the
same topic for a different audience, in a new mode, and in a new genre, as well as practice
communicating academic knowledge to a broader audience. So adapt Project 3 for a new, broad audience written online publication type of writing.
Requirements:
should be 1000-3000 words
include background for readers unfamiliar with the topic
should use grammar and style appropriate for a public audience, including tone, word
choice, and sentence structure
should present evidence to the audience in a way that is organized and easy to follow
should avoid academic jargon
include graphs/pictures
use easy to understand words
short paragraphs that are 2-3 sentences
Headings and subheadings are audience-oriented, meaning that they give readers
essential information but also engage and motivate the audience to read more
The title is engaging and re-Tweetable
The introductory moves are revised for this genre, meaning that the essay might move
even more quickly to the thick of the problem
utilize hyperlinks instead of citations to give credit to sources
should have headlines and sub-headlines that give the motive and/or thesis
Look at finished examples of how this should look: “8 billion people” and “what science still can’t explain about love”
