I have students write a news article about any topic in Developmental that
they would like. The longer pieces in Science News or the news magazines
like Time serve as the model. I require that they use five sources for the
news article and require that those sources are from the psychology
journals. (They also submit an APA style list of references.) I like the
assignment because students encounter these kinds of reports in their daily
lives and they are more likely to do this kind of writing when they
graduate. The students seems to enjoy the assignment more than the
traditional term paper. 

 
If they use the primary literature and write in APA style, what makes this
different than a term paper?
