February 4,5,7

I apologize for not updating as the week progressed.

The week was build around two main objectives.
1) Preparing for a Socratic Seminar next Monday / Tuesday on the question "Should the federal government subsidize corn?'

2) Studying the questions that result in good thesis research and analyzing the structure of researched articles.

Monday:
The class read "Stocking the Pantry" and completed an analysis of the article in class. After reading this article the class created a marketing campaign based on a "problem" vegetable.

Next the class read "How Chicken Conquered the World." See Mr. Zartler for copies. The class annotated a copy of this article both to see how it was formatted and in an effort to discern what questions might have sparked the research into this article.

On Thursday, the class began viewing King Korn. King Korn is available for instant viewing on Netflix and may be available on Amazon or other systems. Classes viewed 45 minute to one hour of the program. During the viewing students individually worked to complete this note taking chart.

Next week the class will finish viewing King Korn; the class will be divided in to seminar teams; the class will have the seminar.
