ESSAY #1 THE RESTAURANT REVIEW

You must have sensed that I was secretly having you write about food for a reason, right? Indeed! I wanted to give you an appetite for writing about food:



RESTAURANT REVIEW DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY ASSIGNMENT:
 Go to any restaurant. AS YOU EAT, TAKE NOTES on the ambiance, the food, and the service. You may choose any restaurant (from Taco Bell to a food truck to Valentien), but you should use this writing assignment to explore your descriptive capabilities. Use sound, touch, taste, smell, and the look of the food and surroundings.

THIS MUST BE A NEW EXPERIENCE! DO NOT WRITE ABOUT THAT ONE GREAT RESTAURANT YOU REMEMBER EATING AT OVER THE BREAK!
The review should be approximately two to three pages in length (double-spaced). You may use the first-person in this review. And in fact, you should include something about the social experience of eating. What part did you’re the social experience of the eatery play in making this event memorable?

Basically, you should go to a restaurant and capture the experience on paper. You may write this one in a fairly informal tone. This is due on February 13th, by midnight.

HERE'S HOW YOU TURN THIS PAPER IN:
Once your essay is finished, you will upload the final draft to turnitin.com at any time on or before February 13th.

GREETINGS AND BASIC COURSE INFO

!!!!NO MEETING THIS SATURDAY!!!! (we will meet later in the semester)

EMAIL: bschmoll@csub.edu


Greetings,

This course has some weekly assignments that you must keep up on. There are also a few other papers and books to read throughout the semester. But if you keep up with the weekly assignments on here, your writing will improve and you will put yourself in a great position to do well in this class!


These are time sensitive. You do not receive credit if you write them after the deadline(Saturday) each week. Furthermore, if you are in the habit of writing everything on Saturday you will not receive full credit. Why? There would be no time for others to interact with your writing. Write early; write often! Right? Right!

HERE IS THE WORK THAT MUST BE COMPLETED EACH WEEK...


FIRST, there's a blog entry (about 250 words) which will have you respond to a hopefully thought-provoking question. Each week, you must do the blog entry with enough time left in the week to be able to enter into dialogue online with your classmates. Write, reply, write more, reply more, and then write and reply more.


SECOND, there's a reading. There’s no blog entry associated with this. Just read.


THIRD, there's a written response to the reading. Your reading and writing on the blog must be completed by the SATURDAY (by midnight) of the week in which the reading falls. This entry should be a long paragraph. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESPOND TO OTHER STUDENTS IN PART THREE EACH WEEK.
