<\/a>PARTICIPATION (20%)
\nYour active participation matters!  <\/strong>Contribute to discussion, whether through zoom or VIULearn<\/a>.  The quality of comments and\/or questions<\/strong> raised during discussion is how you will be assessed. Be an informed participant; read the assigned materials!  
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your regular engagement with VIULearn<\/a> establishes your presence.<\/strong>  This means viewing content and\/or responding to discussions.  Each student is expected to contribute to the general forums (a minimum<\/em> of EIGHT posts in total).  Those grouped as REQUIRED are just that; the expectation is that you will respond to these.  Whether you do all or some remains your choice; your participation mark will reflect this.<\/p>\n

Postings can be a relevant article<\/strong> or a comment<\/strong> on one that has been submitted; the latter should be a substantive comment, i.e., an informed opinion, not one that states agreement. Commentary should also be included with the former; why is it relevant to the course? Do not provide a link to an item by itself or with the comment: “Really good.”  Provide an explanation. Recipes do NOT count as evaluated postings.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be REQUIRED posts, such as a summary of an article from Iacovetta et al<\/a>, 2012 <\/strong>(sign-up on VIULearn<\/a>).  Such discussions will be identified when expected by all.<\/p>\n

Last day to post on VIULearn<\/a>,<\/strong> if you want it to be considered as part of your participation mark, is Friday, December 18, 11:30pm<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

For full credit (20%)<\/strong>, you must be an active participant: (1) engage through zoom and\/or<\/em> respond to discussions marked REQUIRED on VIULearn<\/a>, and (2) post to VIULearn<\/a> (general discussions – minimum of 8).<\/p>\n

<\/a>OPINION PIECE (5%)<\/strong>
\nYou are encouraged to learn outside the classroom by taking advantage of on- and off-campus events, virtually.  Attend an event and submit an opinion piece<\/strong> (no more than 250-300 words) through VIULearn<\/a><\/strong>.  I will regularly offer suggested events, including relevant webinars, podcasts, or documentaries.  If there is an event that you wish to attend that is not listed, please check with me.<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n

opin-ion<\/strong> \\ \u0259-\u2019pin-y\u0259 n \\ n. 1 a:<\/strong> a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter.
\n(Merriam-Webster\u2019s Collegiate\u00ae Dictionary 11th Edition)<\/span><\/p>\n

As the above definition implies, I am interested in your response to the event. Your commentary is NOT to be a summary<\/strong>. Be reflective, support your opinion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong><\/span> This is the only assignment that can be considered \u2018optional\u2019; there is no penalty if you do not complete this other than missing 5% of your mark.  This is to be completed by the end of the semester.<\/p>\n

<\/a>EXAM (20%)<\/strong>
\nThe exam is based on readings, plus The Hundred-Foot Journey <\/em>and My Life in France<\/em>.  Students will respond to two questions: one on The Hundred-Foot Journey <\/em>(choice of two) and one of two others, with one based on My Life in France<\/em>.  There will be NO final exam.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answers should be typed, double-spaced, 11-12-pt font.  Please save as docx or pdf-format<\/strong>; submit through VIULearn<\/a>.  No bibliography is needed, unless other sources are used<\/em>.  You will be using your texts so in-text citation<\/strong>, such as, (Child 2006, 54) or (Morais 2010, 186).<\/p>\n

Word count maximum for each exam question:  750<\/strong><\/p>\n

DUE:<\/span> November 26<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>FOOD MEMORY STORY (10%)<\/strong>
\nEveryone has a food memory story\u2014good or bad, happy or sad, e.g., the cooking disaster, a birthday or other celebratory event. In no more than two pages (ca. 250-600 words), tell your story. Think of this as a creative writing piece<\/strong>; if you want to compose a poem or word picture, go ahead.<\/p>\n

You will be assessed on the content and your skill at conveying the story.  Submit via VIULearn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DUE:<\/span> September 24, with zoom discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>FOOD “DIARY” (5%)<\/strong>
\nFrom September 28-October 4<\/strong>, you are to create a daily journal of thoughts and activities that are food-related. Each day\u2019s entry will be a chronology of the day\u2019s events but through the “filter” of food (make sure you date each day\u2019s entry<\/strong>!). This is to be comprehensive<\/strong>–who, what, when, where, how.  Recipes are not expected, nor are they to be included.<\/p>\n

For those who want to document their food \u2018encounters\u2019 through other media: compile photos (lo-res) with a max. 12-word description for each image; OR compile 20-sec video clips for each food episode.<\/p>\n

The analysis will occur in the form of class discussion (zoom break out rooms) and online forum, especially for those unable to meet in zoom.  Your participation in discussion matters.<\/p>\n

DUE:<\/span> October 8, with zoom discussion<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a>COOKBOOK ANALYSIS (15%)<\/strong>
\nSelect one type of cuisine<\/strong>; your choice may be restricted to the cookbooks available (check the library, VIU or VIRL, as well as your own or family\u2019s collection). You will be examining TWO cookbooks<\/strong><\/p>\n
