Tuesday, 4 March

Students had their working hypothesis and 25 notes (on note cards) checked.

Students were given the following due dates an exhorted to put not just the dates in their planners, but specific times and places to meet these dates:

12 notes on one topic / section of thesis: Thursday 6 March

First section of thesis: Tuesday 11 March

Approximately 50 notes (on note cards) 13 March.

The class did an exercise to identify topics for sections of the thesis.

The class viewed episode 1 of Farmed and Dangerous  to kick off the Corporate and Industrial Foods issues section of the class. The class took notes on issues related to corporate and industrial food production raised in the program. These notes will be useful when later in the spring Congressman Earl Blumenauer comes to Grant to discuss these and other issues.

Mr. Zartler also indicated that after the spring break the class would be honored to have Apricot Irving teaching a unit on food writing and memoir curtesy of Writers in the Schools.
