Nutrition Article
NFSC 460 –Nutrition Education and Counseling
Skill Area: Writing a nutrition article for a newspaper
Assignment title: Nutrition Article for the Lay Public
What I learned: I learned how to write an article for the lay public which involved interviewing people from various backgrounds to support my claim, providing specific examples regarding how to make the change specified in the article, and how to keep the interest of the audience. The ability to disseminate sometimes complicated information in a simplified way so the public can understand it is an important skill to possess.
Reflection to assignment: This assignment taught me the importance of taking a nutrition related subject and presenting it in a way that is entertaining to the reader. I also learned how to write in the style appropriate for a newspaper column and was so successful in doing so that my article actually got published in a local newspaper.
Relevance to the profession: The success of a professional is in their ability to teach others and nutrition professionals may be asked to write articles, create handouts or design posters that must be able to be understood by the public.
