Directions for the last summer session: The Omnivore's Dilemma

Choose ten passages from The Omnivore's Dilemma to respond to. At least two passages should come from each of the four sections of the book. (That will account for eight of the passages. You can choose the remaining two passages from any section.) Each passage should be at least 100 words in length.

Each passage response should be at least 150 words in length. When you're writing your responses make sure you (1) discuss the meaning of the passage in context, (2) discuss the relationship of the passage to other parts of the book and/or to the argument the book makes as a whole, and (3) discuss how the writer's choices in the passage contribute to an argument.

Here's a link to the format I expect for the passage responses (also called a "quotation response journal).

It's best if you share the passages and responses in a Google Document that you finish by the last summer session on August 19 at 8am.
