Primary Source Research Article Assignment

Please read and mark the text in the primary source research article titled “The relationship of sugar to population-level diabetes prevalence: an econometric analysis of repeated cross-sectional data.” 

If you are unfamiliar with how to mark the text, please read the following instructions:

  1. Before reading, please number the paragraphs. (Start with the number one and continue numbering sequentially throughout, placing the number near the start of the paragraph.)
  2. Circle key terms and other essential words or numbers.
  3. Put a box around any terms you do not know the meaning of or are unfamiliar with.
  4. Underline information relevant to the reading purpose (concerns, claims, data, definitions, descriptions, evidence, examples, explanations, guiding language, hypotheses, “if then” statements, main ideas, methods, processes, etc.)

Once you have marked the text for the above primary source research article, pick five paragraphs of your choice that stand out to you. You now want to share the information you learned with the world! In the space below, please write imaginary “tweets” that allow you to briefly summarize the important information from each of your five chosen paragraphs. Remember, a “tweet” can only contain 140 characters, so you must do your best to be brief while also including the essential information for each of your five chosen paragraphs.
