Overview
- Determine the audience you will be addressing.
- Audiences can be your family, peers, church congregation, legislators, kindergarten class, etc. Any group that you might enjoy talking to about these topics.
- Determine what type of creative assignment you would like to complete. Be as creative as you want to be with this assignment just do not turn in a traditional paper.
- Examples of creative assignments might include submitting a podcast, PowerPoint, Prezi presentation, series of art pieces, brochure or handout, etc.
- If you are not sure if a creative idea/project will work for the class, just ask me.
- In your assignment, answer the following questions in your chosen creative way:
- How does the makeup of our bodies relate to our ecology?
- How does our structure or anatomy impact the way that we interact with other organisms as well as resources?
- How do our bodily functions or physiology impact the way that we interact with other organisms? (Hint: The microbiome is probably a great way to look at how our anatomy and physiology interact with other organisms.)
- Use the following resources when answering the above questions:
- Use either The Body: A Guide for Occupants or I Contain Multitudes and at least 2 of the readings/videos provided in the document attached.
- Use at least 1 peer-reviewed resource.
- Include either in-text citations or quote them depending on what works best for your creative assignment.
- For example, in a podcast, you would state somewhere during it that "In his book, I Contain Multitudes, Ed Yong states...."
- Include a works cited page but this can be a separate document, especially if you are doing something like a podcast.
