I would like to find some of the staples of the lunch food program here at ASFA (I'm thinking like canned vegetables? frozen chicken fingers? and the like) and trace where they came from and where they were packaged.
Once I have compiled the information, I would like to create something accessible to the student body displaying the information, like a big print-out map from the plotter printer that I could hang in the lunchroom, showing all the different places food came from, even statisctics like number of workers used or energy needed to transport the food (I guess that all depends on how much I can get done)...
And this is assuming I can get the lunch ladies to let me back there and get some info on the food... I'm not really sure of the best way or time to get that info? But, assuming I can, then I think my project will work out the rest of the kinks on the way.

This is a cool idea (potentially subversive [but only mildly and probably beneficially]? Your point of contact is definitely Ms. Melissa. She's great. Mr. Reardon and I can lay the groundwork with her if you need us to. (I think she's back from maternity leave by now...?)
ReplyDeletePS...what I love about your blog is how focused it is on the area of your "depth charge." As with your Inq Essay, you're definitely homing in on the proper approach to this sort of class.
