“Writers who make strong claims need to map their claims relative to those of other people” (They Say I Say 30).
Agenda:
- Make sense of the genre of scholarly articles (new genre for us)
- Summary (as a tool of research writing)
Genre
- Category/Type (different styles) short story, poem, etc
- Music, film, books
- like/don’t like
- sorting tool
- what makes a genre? perception, subject/content, style
- organized (easier to find stuff)
- flexible
- response to a recurring rhetorical situation
- figure out how genre works: better writers, better readers (use similar techniques), more flexible writers (tools for new situations)
Article Activity
- Intro/early childhood
- relate concepts (identify), why?(we could do more)
- how they do it
- questions (how education/social science overlaps with public health)
- methodology of studies
- survey of literature in fields of education of public health looking at crossover
- k-12
- facts using pro and cons, open for interpretation
- free lunch-more aware of healthy choices, could increase obesity (both sides)
- smaller class size does not have as positive an outcome as they were looking for
- abstract
- what they did how they did it
- review evidence from studies, which educational components are necessary for good health outcomes at all education levels?
- higher ed
- factors already in play continue into higher ed, good education, good college experience. Not as good education will lead to no college or not as productive an experience
- college=better health
- increase people going, doesn’t reduce health inequalities, then the elite schools will have better health
- not all govt controlled
- conclusion
- summarized studies, warrant new studies, use public education to promote public health
