Important due dates:
Thursday, March 20th during 3rd Period Congressman Earl Blumenauer will be visiting Grant's Food and Agriculture classes. There will be an "In-School Field Trip."

Tuesday, March 18th students will need to provide a question or concern, and data to back up the question or concern to present to Rep. Blumenauer.

Next we continued our studying of industrial food production.

We read and discussed this Op-Ed piece by  Nicholas Kristoff "Is That Sausage Worth It?".
We discussed Bovine Spongifrom Ecephalopathy/ "Mad Cow Disease" and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. We compared "Market Forces" and "Legislative Solutions." We discussed proposed "Ag-Gag" laws.

There was a lecture on how note cards are used to create a well organized thesis.


Students had time to organize their cards for the first section. The class was reminded to use topic sentences that share key words with the section thesis.
