“The Rhetoric of Food” Units III & IV Overview – Fall 2012

For your research project, you will be assigned one of three topics. This project will comprise the next 2 Units:

1. Do a class presentation (Unit III)

2.  You will do research on the topic and create an annotated bibliography (Unit III)

3. Write a 750-900 word research-based essay on your topic (Unit IV).

** Expect a separate assignment handout for each of Units III and IV.  There will be numerous handouts posted in course content to help guide you as you work on your projects.

First, we will begin by allowing you to draw “from a hat” one of the following three topics:

1.       GMO: Just Say No

2.       Where’s the “Food” in Fast Food?
