Today you started planning your lesson. Tomorrow you will finish doing so, and on Friday each group will teach for about 10 minutes. This includes checking for understanding, either in the form of oral questions, a quiz, a written response or a demonstration.
Your homework on Friday is to write a reflection on how your lesson went. What went well? What didn't? How well did the students understand your lesson? If you had it to do over again, what would you change?

Fast Food Nation Chapters
On Monday, we will be using the laptops to read chapters from the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. The following are the assignments:
Laptops 1-5 will read the Food Product Design, from chapter 5 "Why the Fries Taste Good."
Laptops 6-10 will read McTeachers and Coke Dudes from chapter 2 "Your Trusted Friends."
Laptops 11-15 will read The Most Dangerous Job from chapter 7 "Cogs in the Great Machine."
Laptops 16-20 will read Throughput from chapter 3 "Behind the Counter."
You will have two days to read and annotate the sections and two days to plan how you will teach your section to the class. You will not be merely presenting. You must check for understanding: ask questions orally, give a quiz, require students to answer a question in writing, conduct a taste test, etc. You must also bring any items you need and make copies of anything you will hand out to the class.

Fast Food Module
We have now read and annotated the first two articles in the Fast Food module of our textbook: "Portion Distortion" and "If You Pitch It, They Will Come." We also filled in the vocabulary chart on pg. 51 for those stories. On Monday, half the class answered questions on "Portion Distortion" and half the class answered questions on "If You Pitch It" on pgs. 53-54.
If you were absent Friday or Monday, you need to complete the above.
Homework for Period 5: Fill in the vocabulary chart on pg. 51-52 for "The Battle Against Fast Food." (Period 2 you should have already done this.)
