For your final blog of the semeter, offer your concluding perspective on the subject of this class: the industrial food system. Explain to your readers what you think is the most important information they need to know about this system, explain how your perspective on the system evolved (or didn't) over the course of the semester, and explain how the subject matter has or has not challenged your own personal perspectives on eating in America.

Class on Thursday May 31 includes conferences

We have only two classes left. Please take the time over the next week to revise your third essay so that we can talk about it on Thursday. I will hold these conferences in the first hour of class. The first hour of class is very important to attend as well, as we will be holding a final exam review.

Blogging the Peer Review

Citing Web Sources

Web sources need to be framed, cited, summarized, and paraphrased, too. See our class discussion today, and don't forget to use the LaGuardia Library Website.

Revised Prose: Final Drafts

Please italicize, or make the sentences look like this, when you have changed more than 30% of the sentence (just count the new words versus the old words. If you changed more than 30% of the sentence, put it in italics. I want to be able to quickly see what material you added to these essays, and what is new from previous drafts. The italics button is between the "B" and "u" button at the top of word processing screen on the toolbox line.

Attaching previous drafts

When you turn in the final draft for this essay, please turn in your peer review notes from class on Thursday May 24, and also please turn in ONE COPY of the the draft you brought in for that peer review.
