WEEKLY TASKS


There are three tasks each week:

First, there's a blog entry (about 250 words) which will have you respond to a hopefully thought-provoking question.

Second, there's a reading. There’s no blog entry associated with this. Just read.

Third, there's a written response to the reading. Your reading and writing on the blog must be completed by the SATURDAY (by midnight) of the week in which the reading falls. This entry should be a long paragraph.

ESSAY #1...THE RESTAURANT REVIEW

This is our first larger assignment. The process for writing and turning the paper in is below. The essay must be turned in by next Saturday, April 20, at midnight. You will only turn this in online, to turnitin.com.
PLease, if you have any questions at all, let me know and I will try to help as soon as possible. Happy eating and writing about eating!

RESTAURANT REVIEW: (20%) Go to any restaurant in town. As you eat, take notes on the ambiance, the food, and the service. You may choose any restaurant (from Taco Bell to Café Med), but you should use this writing assignment to explore your descriptive capabilities. Use sound, touch, taste, smell, and the look of the food and surroundings. The review should be approximately two pages in length. You may use the first-person in this review.
The length is somewhat up to you, but it is probably best to think about a couple of pages.
I am looking most here at your ability to describe both the food and the experience!
Basically, you should go to a restaurant and capture the eating event on paper. You may use first person and may write in a fairly informal tone. This is due on Saturday, 4/20, by midnight.
