Thursday, October 3rd.

(Please pardon the delayed post; I posted this to my US History blog by mistake.)

Class began with a brief discussion of the concept of "Last Meal" including the last meal of former French President Francois Mitterrand.

Students then wrote about what they would have for their final meal and why.

Next the class debriefed the SOAPS+Claim analysis of the "Geography of Taste" article. The class then discussed some of the implications of the claims and concepts in the article.

Students then wrote a journal entry about what kind of food they would choose if they could only choose one kind for a ten year stay on a deserted island.

Next Mr. Zartler presented a lesson on "setting" in story telling. Students identified the mood that four different eating establishments created for them. Next Mr. Zartler presented a graphic organizer that students were encouraged to think about setting in their stories. Setting should include: objects; dimension; atmosphere; and many of the senses.

Finally, students had time to work on their story drafts.

All students are reminded that the summer research writing re-drafts should be in on Monday, 7 October.
