Class today consisted of clarifying the expectations of for the independent reading project; analyzing the homework reading by Diane Jacob in order to be sure of the procedures for writing a restaurant review; and revising an existing restaurant review rubric.
A project demonstrating analysis of the role of food in a piece of literature is due on January 8th. Click this text to obtain an extra copy of the assignment handed out today.
After "Jigsawing" the homework article, and having groups present their findings, the Restaurant Review Rubric was revised to this copy.
Students are encouraged to work on their independent projects over break, but there is plenty of time to do good work in January.
Enjoy your break!
Some key findings from the groups reporting out on How to Write a Restaurant Review:
Choose where to go.
Ask yourself questions
Say why people should know about this restaurant
go back if you can (or go somewhere you've been before)
research the restaurant
go with a group if they know you have to be paying attention to the restaurant not them
if you go in a group you can taste more food
be honest
keep a low profile
