Crash Course:  The Agricultural Revolution

Group Work:  "The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race"


Seminar Prep: The Human Relationship with Food
Answer the following questions referencing evidence from Hatchet, Supersize Me, and “The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race.”
1.  Compare and contrast Brian’s relationship with food in Hatchet and that of a “heavy user” of McDonald’s food.  Which way would you rather live?
2.  Compare and contrast the life of a hunter/gatherer with your own.  Who lives better?  Explain.
3.  Was the agricultural revolution the worst mistake in the history of the human race?  Why or why not?



If you finish your seminar prep, spend some time on Edmodo in a rhetorical exchange about food!
