Presentations
We should be on for three presentations to begin class.
Midterm Review
After the presentations, students will gather into groups. They will refresh themselves on the midterm tomorrow using their notes. They should revisit:
- Fast Food Nation notes and blogs
- The End of Overeating notes and blogs
- Eating Animals notes and blogs
- Food, Inc notes and blogs
Midterm Structure
Students will read the directions. The directions will describe writing a 600-word essay. Students will select one question to answer from three choices. They will answer in the form of a thesis statement, and use course texts to defend that thesis statement. More points will be awarded depending on how many sources the students incorporate. No excellent grades will be awarded to essays that fail to meet the minimum word requirement.
Blog Workshop
Students that desire to post a blog late for some credit can use this time to complete blog four. They may watch the video with headphones. If they are without headphones they should share with those that have them. Students that have not had the opportunity to revise previous blogs based on reader comments can do so. Some students left comments on the wrong blogs the previous week for the Language and Human Rights class. To receive full credit, those students should revisit those comments. For students that are satisfied with their blogs and left the correct comments, they can provide comments on a peer blog with permission of the professor. For the video blog this past weekend, students should consider whether or not an outside reader who had not seen the video could properly understand what the video was about, and whether or not that reader could understand the connection to the student video project.
