documentary of Morgan Spurlock. Both of these muckrakers wrote about the Food
Services industry.
DUE
on WEDNESDAY Nov 22, 2012
NO
LATE ESSAYS WILL BE ACCEPTED
I want you to write a TWO
paragraph paper on a topic you think should be exposed for doing
damage to the public at large.
For example:
Mr. Hartmann thinks that
internet usage is a problem. This is a problem because public libraries are being
underused and losing funds, reading skills are being affected and lastly
spelling is being changed by internet abbreviations.
He would research by
comparing the grades of students who use the internet more than 2 hours a day
to students who use the internet less than 2 hours a day. He would also
research this by contacting the Brooklyn Public Library to ask what they think
the major causes of declining library
use.
