Demonstrate your understanding of an issue raised in the film Food, Inc.
by composing a 3 to 5 paragraph essay around one focus question (or a related question) from one of the chapters.
PLANNING AND WRITING YOUR ESSAY
Remember that this is essentially a persuasive essay—you want most of your sentences to support your
belief or position on the issue you are discussing. However, you must
be sure to spend at least three or four sentences (one paragraph)
exploring the opposing point of view (these would be reasons or
explanations from the side of your graphic organizer opposite of the one you are favoring).
If you have NOT already selected a focus question to discuss, choose one and complete the graphic organizer FIRST.
DEVELOPING YOUR ARGUMENTS / IDEAS
Should access to healthy food be a right for everyone?
Take
that question, for example. In your mind/heart, you may already have
felt very strongly that, YES, all people should have as a natural right
access to healthy food. BUT, consider some of the attitudes you heard
about during the film—companies like Tyson the meat processor aren't
particularly interested in the healthiness of their products. Rather
they care most about selling product and making profits. They might
argue (and you could say) that people must earn access to foods they
want or need and that there is a cost to everything. On the "NO" side
you might bring up issues like who ensures this access (government,
etc.) and who decides / defines what is "healthy"? On the "YES" side you
could say that since nutrition is so essential to life and liberty
(other ideals supposedly protected by the constitution) that it ought to
be guaranteed by a nation to its people.
Don't worry
so much about the total number of paragraphs as you do the quality of
the points / arguments you make—a really well written 3 paragraph essay
is better than a poorly written 5 paragraph essay with weak or unclear
ideas.

Demostrar su comprensión de una cuestión planteada en la película Food, Inc. componiendo un ensayo de 3 a 5 el párrafo en torno a una pregunta de enfoque (o una pregunta relacionada) de uno de los capítulos.
PLANIFICACIÓN Y escribir su ensayo
Recuerde que este es esencialmente un ensayo-desea la mayoría de sus oraciones para apoyar su creencia o posición sobre el tema que se está discutiendo persuasivo. Sin embargo, usted debe estar seguro de pasar por lo menos tres o cuatro frases (un párrafo) que exploran el punto de vista opuestos (estas razones serían o explicaciones desde el lado de la gráfica organizadora opuesto de la que está favoreciendo).
Si usted no ha seleccionado una pregunta de enfoque para discutir, elegir uno y completa el organizador gráfico PRIMERO.
DESARROLLO DE SUS ARGUMENTOS / IDEAS
En caso de acceder a una alimentación sana es un derecho para todos?
Tome esa pregunta, por ejemplo. En su mente / corazón, es posible que ya han sentido muy fuertemente que, sí, todas las personas deben tener como acceso natural derecho a la alimentación saludable. PERO, tenga en cuenta algunas de las actitudes que usted oído hablar durante la película-empresas como Tyson el procesador de carne no están particularmente interesados en la salubridad de sus productos. Más bien se preocupan más acerca de la venta de productos y la obtención de beneficios. Ellos podrían argumentar (y se podría decir) que las personas deben obtener el acceso a los alimentos que desean o necesitan y que no hay un costo para todo. Por el lado de "NO" es posible hacer referencia a cuestiones como quién garantiza este acceso (gobierno, etc.) y que decide / define lo que es "saludable"? Por el lado de "SI" se podría decir que, dado que la nutrición es tan esencial para la vida y la libertad (otros ideales supuestamente protegidos por la Constitución) que debe ser garantizado por una nación a su pueblo.
No te preocupes tanto por el número total de puntos como lo hace la calidad de los puntos / argumentos que usted hace-un muy bien escrito 3 párrafo ensayo es mejor que un mal escrito ensayo de 5 párrafos con las ideas débiles o poco claros.
