Seminar: The Human Relationship with Food

Seminar Post-write due Monday!



Post-seminar writing:

1.  Reflection/Self-Assess

·         Reflect on the outcome of the seminar.  Consider your own performance and the seminar overall.  How did you do personally and how did the group do collectively?   Based on the rubric, what grade do you deserve on the seminar? 
·         React to your peers’ ideas (be specific) and the meaning you all constructed together.  Was there anything that enlightened you?  Something you particularly disagree with?  How did your thinking about the text change as a result of this seminar? 

2.  Synthesis

·         Make a claim about an idea from today's seminar and support it with evidence.  Your claim may be something you develop further from your seminar prep, or it may be a new idea that you acquired during the seminar.  


For this seminar, you will receive only one grade, which will be a fusion of your reflection and your seminar performance.  I still would like you to write a synthesis, but instead of sending it to me, you should post it on Edmodo.


Honors:  Don't forget to get a copy of The Omnivore's Dilemma by Monday!
