omnivore’s Dilemma

Task: Now that you have read The Omnivore’s Dilemma, I want to know if reading the book has had any effect on the way you think about food or what you choose to eat. If yes, how and why? If not, why? Your response must be a combination of a creative expression of your own making and an informal personal essay that explains the significance of your creation and your response to the question.
1. Your creative project must be an expression of your response to the question (Has reading this book had any effect on the way you think about food, or what you choose to eat?).
a. Suggestions for a Creative Response: Draw something, paint something, write a story, write a poem, take some photographs, create a video, bake something, write/perform a song, create a PowerPoint presentation, do an interview with people about their eating habits, etc.
2. Your essay must explain (a) your response to the question, (b) what you made and why, and (c) how your creation specifically addresses your response.

You will be graded on:
(a) How effectively your creation responds to the question and the book.
(b) How effectively and thoroughly you explain how your creation responds to the question and the book.
(c) How effectively and extensively your essay incorporates your reading of the book. You should include specific passages/quotations from the book and use them to (a) support your response to the question and (b) guide your creation.
(d) The quality of your writing (Note: this is not a formal essay, but you must still present your best possible writing. Pay careful attention to your sentence and paragraph structure. You do not need a formal academic thesis, introduction or conclusion, but you still need to pay careful attention to the narrative flow and organization of your essay).

Important Notes:
(1) No rough draft or letter required.
(2) Please write your name somewhere on your creation.
(3) Please attach the essay to the creation – or the creation to the essay .
(4) You are cordially and whole-heartedly invited to have as much fun with this project as possible, but make sure that you address the book in your response! Your essay and project must reflect specific elements of the book.
