Let me know if you have any questions!
You have just been named Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at a University. After a few weeks on the job you realize that your athlete’s caloric intake consists of an abundance of high fat foods.
Your athlete’s are sluggish when they train and they can’t stay focused in the classroom and it is all because their nutrition is poor! To fix this, you decide to design a nutrition flyer that will serve as a blueprint for improved nutrition for fitness. You flyer must meet the following requirement.
-2-page maximum (meaning make sure your focus is on quality information, not quantity)
-Must be catching to the eye (don’t just write words, make your words “pop” of the page and include graphics, use a program like Microsoft publisher)
-Must contain material for reputable sources (.gov,.edu,.org) (minimum of 2 sources that are cited in MLA format)
-Must address well-balanced nutrition for physically active people (all macro-nutrients must be addressed, do not leave out any out)
-Must include a FAQ (frequently asked questions) section that will dispel certain myths about nutrition for fitness (minimum of 3 FAQ’s)
-Must demonstrate your commitment to your athlete’s nutrition and overall well-being
Have fun with this and be creative! The more attractive this document is the eye, the more motivated folks will be to adhere to it
Write an “I Believe”
Remember the rules to good creative writing are specific, details! Shoot for 40-60 words only.
Hints from Hinton: Every one of you tends to want to write you love God, country, parents and significant other. it is okay to make those your causes, but you CANNOT say it that way. You need to come up with something specific that represents those beliefs.
For instance, Kevin Costner, in Bull Durham, says he believes “Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.” What does that mean? It could mean a number of things about backing the government, not believing in conspiracies. Being straightforward, uncomplicated.
In my “I believe” statement I say “Ernest Hemingway was a lush, but a great writer.” I meant that to mean that you can separate the person from great works. That you don’t have to be perfect to do great things.
So you can believe your momma is the most important thing in your life, but the way you feel that or the way she demonstrates that is how you should write it in your “I believe” statement.
Body. Simple, you’ve done this before. Body paragraphs must reflect mapping elements in content and in order of presentation. Three body paragraphs per mapping is the minimum required. Therefore, nine total body paragraphs minimum. You may have more, but NOT less. No more that two citations per paragraph. History section is the exception to this rule. Use citations to support your points or use your voice to explain/expand cited information. “Voice” means YOU, your claim, your idea. You must use your voice or your body paragraphs will simply be cited material with nothing of you included. YOU need to be in there 
That does not mean, however, that you use first person. Just make the statement without saying, “I think”, “I believer”, etc. Just say it. Use transition sentences at the end or at the beginning of each paragraph (tell us what you’ve just finished telling us and what you’re about to go into). Transitions make your paper cohesive, smooth. USE THE SAMPLE PAPER. USE THE SAMPLE PAPER.
Conclusion. You’ve also done this before. Similar to the introduction but, for the most part, in reverse order. Start with a restatement of you thesis. Then, ONE sentence, one final sentence related to each of your mapping elements. Finally, a concluding hook. Remember, each element of your conclusion should be powerful, the memorable end to this project.
