Catching up; topic idea generation
with AND BUT THEREFORE statements. Let's talk about the discipline of limiting AND moves. BUT detects difference and signals where your research question/working hypothesis is....THEREFORE is what should happen next.
Look at all the grammar and conventions noted here. For those of you continuing on in academic science, this level of revision is part of manuscript prep.
Affect/Effect. PLEASE LISTEN or READ to Grammar Girl. She does a really nice job of cautioning you about impact, as well. For more on how this use is changing, GG used Google NGram.
For Friday, bring your returned hard copy review documents AND A DIGITAL COPY. By next Friday, we are turning in a document design revision. In this activity, we will also review copyright conventions on using images. This is how we will start:
Design constraints, to start:
THREE or FOUR PAGES in TWO-COLUMN FORMAT, without excess white space. If you have too much white space at the end -- more than two or three lines -- email me for a fix. You can "fool" with the formatting to achieve three pages by
- varying font type, if needed;
- varying font size between 11 and 14;
- choosing the line spacing of either one-line or one and 1/2 line spacing. DO NOT USE DOUBLE SPACING FOR THIS DOCUMENT.
Images to find over the weekend. You will need approximately three graphics to work with:
- journal covers
- photos of researchers
- selected graphic from article
- outside graphic
To Be Discussed in class. Bring these images to class along with your revised text of the review.
For discussion, we will look at this sample THAT HAS SOME THINGS WRONG WITH IT!!!!

We will rework the review into a newsletter format, with these basics:
- 2 columns and some visuals -- ONE PER PAGE.
- pull out quote from book (author in tag line) (THIS CAN BE A VISUAL)
- image of journal/publication venue cover (no source needed, but courtesy note about publisher)
- image of author (citation and email permission needed)
- header and footer
- masthead
What is a masthead? This is the long access graphic that runs across the top of our Leaf it to Us company newsletter. Here is one for you to use, made in Photoshop by Megan B., a former student who is now a medical illustrator.
Bring your digital copy next week to keep working on this project. Due in class on Friday April 22.
We will also settle in your final project proposal on Monday.
