Day 2 - W When you are finished: -Staple Activity 1 – 5 and your Food Log together and put in a pile on the table I will pass these back to you tomorrow so you can use them on the essay.

Socratic Seminar: The Setup  Desks must be in a circle  There must be a moderator (Mrs. Baker)  There is a “conch” (ball)  Only the person holding the “conch” may speak  Everyone has out their packets, a piece of paper and a pencil.  Use this to answer each question.  Everyone must participate by writing down the questions/quotes and answering with your response (you will turn these in at the end of the period!)

Socratic Seminar: How it Works There will be a statement/question presented on the board. Each student must write down the statement/question and write a response to it. The moderator will hand the “conch” to a student who will then voice their opinion on the statement/question. Once the student finishes, the “conch” can be passed to another student who has their own input, a questions, calcification or counterargument. The moderator will decide if a discussion is getting off topic or if the discussion is becoming offensive and is allowed to change the topic. Do not look to your teacher for help. You are ALL in charge of this discussion.

Socratic Seminar Statements/Questions: 1) Who is to blame for obesity in America? Fast food companies? Americans?

The battle against fast food in the home - Weintraub 2) Is it the fault of parents who let their kids eat unhealthy foods? 3) Is the problem of obesity in school the lack of consistent physical education?

It’s portion distortion that makes America fat - Brownlee 4) Some people genuinely believe that McDonalds is a healthy place to eat at. What is your take on this? 5) Does cheap food induce people to eat more?

If You Pitch It, They Will Eat - Barboza 6) Does t he McDonald’s Corporation want to be everywhere that children are? 7) We don’t sell guns, alcohol or drugs to children. However, do we allow them to be exploited by food companies?

Don’t Blame the Eater - Zinczenko 8) Shouldn’t we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants? 9) Does providing the nutritional information on food help people make informed choices about what they are eating?

Reflection-Activity 1: Anticipation Guide Look back at Activity 1 Have any of your thoughts changed on them? 1) People who are overweight don’t eat healthy foods 2) Parents are responsible for teaching kids what they should or should not eat 3) Fast food companies are responsible for making people overweight 4) Teenagers will eat what they want so schools should serve foods they like 5) Schools have a responsibility to limit the foods they serve and only serve healthy options 6) What you eat isn’t important, it is how much you eat 7) People who are thin eat healthy foods and exercise 8) People don’t understand how bad fast food is for you 9)People know fast food is bad, but don’t care

Telling the difference between Great and Okay on the essay… Score of 5 or 6 – GREAT! Sophistication – Clear thesis Great vocabulary with imagery that shows/proves your meaning Telling: “He lived on a nice boat.” Showing: “His million dollar yacht cruised the Mediterranean.” Telling: “She’s a tramp because of what she wears.” Showing: “She’s a tramp because of her high heels, provocative winking and saying ‘Hey Baby’ to the passing cars on the corner of Melrose and 5 th in downtown LA.” In depth examples, and not just the most obvious ones More awareness of audience “There are some that argue that….” Quotations from the text – extremely important to get a 5 or 6! Awareness of audience: what they’re thinking, what might push their buttons (words that are possibly insulting) Some errors possible, but not ones that confuse your reader To be on the safe side, at least four paragraphs - but quality is really the most important quality Score of 3 or 4 – OKAY! Smooth read Clear thesis, but not sophisticated Most important is ideas – examples to support the ideas Examples are there, but are not directly referring to the text Don’t get tricky with grammar (Unless you can handle it) Some errors in how audience is addressed; more slang or informal language Usually shorter paragraphs Grammar and spelling isn’t distractingly bad, but obviously less capable

Fast Food CSU Module Essay Prompt Essay Topic: We have read four articles that take different stances as to who is responsible for the rising number of obese people in America. In your own opinion, who’s at fault for America’s growing weight problem: the fast food companies or the consumer? Explain. (Note: Focus on one or the other…do not say both are at fault! Pick a side and explain that side!) Note: You must construct an argument about an issue based on the readings we have covered. You must refer to at least two texts and quote appropriately as well as acknowledge the source of the words and ideas (i.e. “According to Brownlee…”) You may also use your own personal experience and observations to support your position. (i.e. food log, etc.) You may include a counterargument that acknowledges that others may not agree with your position. You may use the packet and questions to help you with writing this essay.
