It's May and our last full month of school already! This week we'll continue reading through the Sustainable Foods packet, and begin the synthesis essay draft.
MONDAY: Journal warm-up. Rhetorical analysis prompt - environmentalists vs. "people first". Read and discuss: is this still relevant? SOAPS and analyze arguments in articles 2 and 3 (articles D and E in Option 2). View Source H from Option 2. View photo essay (Source 1, or A for Option 2) as a class.
Due: Read, annotate and SOAPS Source 2 and 3 from the Sustainable Foods packet. (If you've chosen the more complex prompt, Option 2, please read, annotate and perform a SOAPS analysis on Source D and Source E and read through the other articles except for Specter's article, Source G.)
Homework: Read and annotate Test Tube Burgers, (Source 4 in the Option 1 packet, Source G in the Option 2 packet).
WEDNESDAY: Journal warm-up. Rhetorical analysis practice with an environmentally-themed prompt (good SAT practice). Read actual essay responses to the prompt.
