 Visit the UBC Science Writing YouTube ChannelYouTube  There are two Grammar Squirrel videos that deal with related concepts (‘Communicating Uncertainty’ and ‘Journalistic Science Writing’) Science Writing Resources for Learning scwrl.ubc.ca

A) Try to list as many suitable target groups that you can think of for press releases that will focus on the ‘research scenarios’ in Table 1. B) In all cases, think about which group(s) would be most interested in the information. When filling in a row, try to rank the groups in the order in which you would target them. C) Finally, decide whether you would need to prepare different press releases for each group, or whether the same one could target more than one group.

 Watch the Grammar Squirrel video: ‘Journalistic Science Writing’  Go to the PLOS Biology homepage ( Look through the recent articles and choose one. If you do not have a laptop, your instructor will provide a recent article.  Spend 10 minutes reading your article. Then:  Try to list the five W’s for this article  Decide which group(s) would be interested to read the info if it was presented in a journalistic news article

 Choose one group to target and write one or two paragraphs that incorporate the five W’s (try to write as succinctly as possible)  Think about how you would develop the story in more detail in the next few paragraphs

 In front of the class, read the title of the journal article that you wrote a couple of paragraphs about, and then read your paragraphs to the class  Discuss how effective they were and think about possible revisions/improvements  Refer to the suggested questions on your handout to guide the discussion
