Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is for you to conduct further research and expand your knowledge on a nutrition topic that was covered in class such as the nutrient requirements, Dietary Guidelines, MyPlate recommendations, or concepts such as energy balance, nutrient density, phytochemicals, etc. 
The goal is for you to:
Create an educational handout that could be displayed or distributed at a health   fair
Provide accurate and useful information to someone unfamiliar with nutrition
**Please note that the handout should serve as a fact sheet to educate someone about your topic so they could make improvements to their health. The handout is NOT a flyer about a health fair, instead it is an educational handout used as a resource at a health fair. 
Instructions
To create your handout you may choose to use Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Google Docs, InDesign or artistically design your own.
Use the following guidelines when developing your handout:
The handout should be one page and have a clear message.
Do not overwhelm the handout with too much information. Leave white space so it is not overwhelming to read.
Organize the information in a logical order. Create a catchy title. Subdivide information with headings, use bullet points, text boxes, or line separations to summarize text and organize content.
You do not need to tell people everything about the topic in your handout. It should contain 2-3 “take home messages.” Remember that “less is more”!
The message of your handout should be easy to put into practice, applicable for “most people,” and useful!
Establish a visual focus. Use bold fonts and color but make sure they are easy to read at a glance. Use graphics to increase visual appeal and to illustrate the topic clearly but do not over clutter it.
Triple check your handout for spelling errors, poor grammar, or incorrect information!
Your handout must be original (your own work) – do not copy content directly from a website into your own document. Be sure to cite sources if you paraphrase, summarize, or use data, information or facts from a specific source (a citation at the bottom of the handout will be fine).

We will review five (5) documentary-style storytelling programs on Canvas during the semester:
Ken Burn’s Empire of the Air (1992) 
A Decade Under The Influence (2003)
Soundbreaking: Sound and Vision (2016)
Crisis: Behind a Presidential Commitment (1963)
Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown: Iran (2014)
You will choose ONE of these programs and write a 2-3 page analysis paper on your observations of that program’s production and storytelling elements including: story structure and tone, interviewing technique, editing, cinematography, sound and music design. 
Submit written assignment typed and double-spaced to Canvas (Word, PDF, Pages). 
Please use Times New Roman, 12-point font size.
Questions to discuss in your analysis paper:
What is the documentary about?
What format does the documentary use?
Talking heads
Voice-over narration
Do you find this format effective or not? Why?
Who is the audience for this documentary?
What idea or points are the filmmakers trying to get across to the audience?
Does the documentary employ any of the following interview techniques, and if so, describe how these techniques help to tell the documentary story:
Direct interview: we see both interviewer and subject.
Indirect interview: we only see the subject.
Direct narration: the subject describes what we are seeing or relates a story over visual imagery.
Discuss some of the aesthetic elements that the documentary employs. Some examples to look for when viewing:
Visualization: close-ups, wide shots, camera panning, zoom-in, zoom-outs, point of view
Lighting: lighting can help intensify or de-intensify a scene
Editing technique: quick cuts or slow dissolves
Sound design: ambient sounds, sound effects, natural sound
Music: how does the music set the mood?
Do you find any of these aesthetic elements effective or not? Why?
NOTE: This is an essay style analysis paper. Do not submit a numbered list of answers. Please review my grading rubric for this assignment regarding grading points breakdown. 

Popular media (newspaper, magazine, radio, television, websites) often times publish synopsis of some scholarly research. Popular media present the findings in a way that their audiences would understand. For instance, NPR posted the findings of a recent research that linked the negative review of yankee candle reviews and potential surge of COVID. The objective of this assignment is to encourage you to look for the research published in popular media and critique those research using the research literacy you are developing in this class. For this assignment, create a one page document addressing the following items:
Find an article/story from popular media that published findings of a scholarly research. Give the detailed citation information of the article.
Give a brief summary of the article highlighting the research findings.
Find the original article and link the article so that I can retrieve and read it.
Give a detailed description of the methodology used in the research.
Give your own evaluation/critiques/of the methodology. 

Please divide LR into these four parts, based on the topic. Please ensure that you cite correctly and I do not accept any false citations or citations that do not even remotely match the content.
