Executive Feelings? One of you mentioned that you'd like to look at Currier J. Holman for the second assignment. Remembering that the second assignment is about feelings, I see no reason why not. We can add the group of "executives" to the groups already mentioned: fast food kitchen workers, chicken growers, cattle ranchers, slaughterhouse supervisors, slaughterhouse immigrants, slaughterhouse workers, and slaughterhouse animals. Are we missing anything?
Rough Drafting At this stage of the assignment, it's important for students to:
- review the second assignment
- generate writing based on any and all aspects of the assignment (listing, brainstorms, clustering)
- begin sketching a "tentative" thesis statement
- begin collecting passages to use from Fast Food Nation
- note whether or not they'd like to use a passage from The End of Overeating
- look ahead to passages from our next big text, Eating Animals
- consider passages from texts from other courses in the cluster
Peer Review It really hurt some of you who had nothing for the first essay Peer Review. We must continue to write a little bit each day and each week, and leave plenty of time to revise.
Grading Grids Some of you didn't choose to use the Grading Grid as a "checklist" for the first essay. As you move through to the second essay, refer back to the second essay Grading Grid.
