Warm up: Food diary from FRIDAY (or if you can't remember, yesterday is fine)
We're starting a new article about the politics of food. This is giving you more information about food politics. Be sure that you're hanging on to ALL the articles we are reading on food politics. You will need them later. We did a vocabulary activity today and then an activity on Google Classroom: "When a Crop Becomes King" - Making Predictions. These both need to be completed before class starts tomorrow. HOMEWORK: Finish anything not finished in class.

Warm up: Food Diary! Plus a quickwrite: Based on your food diary, argue whether or not you have a healthy diet. Has your view changed since reading through “The Pleasures of Eating”?
Today is our last day working with this article so I'm looking for you to write a response to one of the following prompts. Be sure to quote the article at least once, and respond fully (think AXES). I'm grading this to see how well you understand Berry's point of view and incorporate it into your response.
HOMEWORK: None. Warm up: Food Diary!
There was a sub today. You answered questions based on ethos, pathos, and logos about Wendell Berry's article. These were due at the end of the period. HOMEWORK: None. Warm up: Food Diary!
Since there was a sub yesterday, I want to make sure we are all understanding the article. Today we went over the assignment from yesterday (on Google Classroom). We discussed the answers and article as a class. At the end of the period, I was looking for you to work with your group to question Wendell Berry's point of view by responding to a question about the article. HOMEWORK; Make sure to turn in the assignment on Google Classroom. Sub day.
Warm up: Food diary! Continue working through the article and fulfilling the chart in the assignment "Reading for Understanding" on Google Classroom. This should be done by the end of the period. HOMEWORK: Finish anything not done in class. Warm up: Food diary!
We did the first read of "The Pleasures of Eating" by Wendell Berry today. After reading, or as you read, summarize each section according to the chart on Google Classroom. The chart is under the assignment "Reading for Understanding". It took most of the period to get through the article and get started, so we will continue to work on the chart when we come back on Tuesday. HOMEWORK: Finish reading through the article, and summarize each paragraph along the left hand side of your article. Warm up: FOOD DIARY! Same routine as yesterday!
Since the vocabulary matching game took a little longer than expected, no one really finished writing down the definitions. So today, the words with their definitions were posted around the room. Working with your group, decide how you will go about getting the definitions for each of the terms to make sure each person in your group has all the definitions on their sheet. When done with vocab, go to Google Classroom to find an assignment called "Making Predictions." As the title suggests, you will look at a couple passages from the article, one at a time, and make predictions about the upcoming reading. We will later check these predictions to see how accurate we were. HOMEWORK: Most were finished in class. If you did NOT finish one of these activities, make sure you have them done by class tomorrow. Warm up: Food Journal! Record everything you ate and drank yesterday and rate your healthiness with either a smiley, straight face, or sad face.
We are preparing to read "The Pleasures of Eating" by Wendell Berry. In preparation, we need to go over some key vocabulary from the article. You can find extra vocabulary worksheets in the back of the room in the "absent" bin. First step to vocab, is to go through the list on your own and indicate how well you know the words. Then, we did a matching game. Working with your group, try to match the definitions to the correct word. When done and correct, record your definitions on your own vocab sheet. HOMEWORK: None. Warm up: Finish goals or respond to a quote by Henry David Thereaux
We started a food diary today. Each day you will record what you ate and drank the day before. After recording your food, rate how healthy you were with either a smiley face, a straight face, or a sad face. We will keep track of our food and use refer to our food diary throughout this unit. After setting up our food diary, skip 5 pages in your JOURNAL (the same one we used for A Lesson Before Dying) to leave space to continue adding to your food diary. Draw a picture of where your food comes from. Then explain, in writing, why you chose to draw that image and answer the question: How much do you know about where your food comes from? We then worked in groups to discuss prereading questions for "The Pleasures of Eating" by Wendell Berry.
