Regarding the format of our writing for any assignment, do you prefer double spaced and the Times New Roman 12 point font? I read the syllabus and couldn't find anything that related to that. Also for the essay 1.1 due on the 26th, I am wanting to choose food as my topic, as that is what I choose to freewrite about in class. However, I'm a speech pathology major. The two could only connect if I discussed the diseases, not necessarily ones that could coincide with my major. Also possibly the issues of swallowing in some patients. However, I'm not sure I could write a 5-6 page paper relating swallowing and food to consumer culture. I was wondering if you had any suggestions or thoughts? Thank
Your essay should use a basic three-paragraph structure (introductory paragraph with a hook and a thesis, a supporting paragraph, and a concluding paragraph) and should be written in 12-point font with one-inch page margins.
Personally, from the class of English 1101, I have learned on how to use the writing processes effectively, where the first step is to have a pre-write, which focuses on brainstorming ideas form either the group or from individuals’ brain for the required topic. The second phase of the process is the thesis statement, which is the primary idea of the entire essay. I discovered that the thesis statement should be persuasive and truthful. The third step is on developing drafts, where it showed me on how to focus on content, organization, and style. Again, I noted that I must ask myself who is my audience, and what do they want or need to hear.

1. I will be the first to admit that I am NOT an accomplished writer nor will I ever be. I also have to say that I have learned a lot from my very short time in these classes that have guided me in preparing a better paper. In the past, I never even knew about the 5 paragraph essay format. I have always looked at thing that I have written and thought that I could have written it different. I didn't have to turn anything in, either for school or work purposes so there was absolutely no need to revise. I am not sure if Nancy Sommer's article changed much about what I have done in the past. I know that my College English Professor did. I took what has been taught to me and I incorporate it as much as I can into what I am doing. I read aloud to

During the first week of class, four readings were assigned. One of the readings, “Food and Eating: Some Persisting Questions,” by Sidney Mintz, discusses the paradoxes of food. Although food seems like a straightforward concept, it is actually extremely complicated. According to Mintz, there are five paradoxes, including: the importance of food to one’s survival, yet we take it for granted, how people stick to their foodways, but are willing to change, whether the government should allow people to freely choose food or if they should protect the people through regulations, the difference in food meanings according to gender, and the morality of eating certain foods. All of these paradoxes give people questions to think about, making this an extremely philosophical look at food studies. It also mentions that food must be viewed through the cultural context that it is in, which became important in “The Old and New World Exchange”, by Mintz, and “Maize as a Culinary Mystery”, by Stanley Brandes. These discuss the diffusion of foods after 1492 in different ways. The Mintz reading gives an overview of all of the foods spread from the Americas to the Old World, and vice-a-versa, but does not go terribly in depth on the social changes and effects of specific foods. Brandes focuses on the cultural impact of specifically maize on the European diet, noticing that most Western Europeans shunned it. He studies the cultural implications of this, concluding that maize was not accepted
As well as using a Kvetching technique was also used Eating, which is a separate technique, to encouraged exaggerated facial expressions. Eating is an activity to encourage actors to think about their face as their character. You walk over to your chair in role and sit down to a meal. You have to think about how your character would sit, what they would have for dinner, are they using their hands or a knife and fork, etc. we had to walk across the drama studio as Skinlad and sit down at the dinner table for dinner. During this task I imagined Skinlad going home to find his mother had cooked him chicken. To show the way he ate the chicken I reverted to more animalistic movements such as tearing at the meat with my teeth and then stuffing the
When addressing the Tracy and her current use of swallowing, it is important to consider many factors. One of the primary questionx throughout this process that should be answered is if she is able to eat and drink safely. Therefore, we will look at environmental modifications, oral motor and oral sensory techniques, therapeutic feeding strategies, postural changes, diet modifications, caregiver instruction, the team’s role, and the opportunities for communication with Tracy throughout this process. These different areas will provide a comprehensive framework to improve Tracy’s swallowing.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a behavior intervention for Kevin. Kevin engages in behaviors that pose safety concerns, are disruptive in school, and limit his interactions with others. The focus of this study will be on Kevin’s chewing behavior, which is the client’s father’s primary safety concern for the client at this time. Kevin’s chewing behavior is maintained by multiple functions; however, the primary function is gaining sensory stimulation. Interventions following evidence-based research using antecedent interventions, differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI), and response blocking were implemented (Chowdhury & Benson 2011: Hagopain, Rooker, & Rolider 2011: Matson, Hattier,

Through the exploration of the “Subjects and Strategies” textbook, I have learned nine different methods used when writing an effective essay and how the different writing styles affect the overall theme and tone of the essay when used properly. This past
The way we eat food has changed drastically in the past few decades. When I think of the process of how our food is made and produced, I typically think of a farm with animals laying around, eating grass, content with everything. Also, I picture ripe red tomatoes, apples, and sweet smelling fruit being pick right when it is ripened so it can get to our grocery stores. This is typically how most people picture our food coming from a farm. It is how they want us to picture it, because it is a happy image: but, it is far from the reality of how things are.
