Your audience is the general population of Waterville, ME so you cannot assume that this population understands mental health jargon and terms. The purpose of the feature article is to educate the public as to what these jobs entail, their working conditions, and what makes the jobs different from "official" sources of job descriptions (US Department of Labor). Write a compelling, entertaining, descriptive, and educational article reflecting your interview and/or job shadow experience. Here are some examples of articles in the magazine SCIENCE...this is SORT of what I'm looking for...the personal story...but I'm also asking for you to go into details about the career from a research standpoint as well. So you are providing both the data about the work from your research and a specific example from the person you interview. http://www.sciencemag.org/careers-career-article-genre/career-profiles Assessment Interview/Job Shadow Article For this assignment you are going to use the app "Pages" to create a formatted article.
