Hearing Loss and the iPod Generation

In this exercise we will review how a health article in a popular magazine is structured. As a class, we will discuss the first paragraph. Then in your groups, you will look at (and post as a comment to this entry) an analysis of one additional "paragraph." You will have about 10 minutes to do this.

Here are your marching orders:

Teacher's Pet: Last paragraph. It begins on page 3, bottom of 4th column: "And while most veteran. . ."

Globo Purple Cobras: In the red and black text box entitled "Save Your Ears" on page 3, #5 that begins "Quit Smoking."

Square Headed Spouse: Second paragraph and accompanying photo. It begins on page 2, "In 1989. . ."

Super Llamas: The graphic entitled "The Risk Factor" on page 3.
