Welcome to one of Grant's new English class: Food & Culture.
I'm very excited to be teaching this new course; I think we will all learn a lot and have a good time.
This blog is where I will try to post assignments in order to help you be successful. If you want to enlist the support of your parents and other loved ones, you can share the blog address with them: http://foodandcultureghs.blogspot.com .
The course syllabus is available for view at: http://www.pps.k12.or.us/depts-c/otl/syllabus/2012-13/10878
Students in Food & Culture are very luck to have been invited to attend the Portland Arts & Lectures event featuring food writer Mark Bittman on Thursday, September 20th.
Food & Culture is a class that will focus (ok this is a bit obvious) on the relationship between food and culture!
We will read a variety of non-fiction and fiction (with an emphasis on non-fiction). Students will write in a variety of analytical and expository modes as well as creative non-fiction and poetry.
Students will be expected to do independent research and observations in the community. A journal will be an important part of recording observations and learnings about food.
All students will be expected to show an ability to earn a passing score on the test for the Multnomah County Food Handler's Card exam -- though students will NOT have to obtain the card.
Every student in upper level English classes at Grant write a Junior or Senior Research Thesis, and students in Food & Culture are no exception.
Over the course of the year students will investigate a wide variety of issues.
Mr. Zartler can be reached by email at jzartler@pps.net . His phone number at school is 503.916.5160 x75700.
