Research

I would like you to use tomorrow and this weekend to research the murder of Trayvon Martin so that you are prepared for class discussion Monday. You should look at and listen to the links supplied in this blog and search for additional material to inform your perspective. What is your take? What happened? Why? How could it happen? What does it mean? Make sure that you have established your potential course of action in the city of Omelas (http://iweb.tntech.edu/jcbaker/The%20Ones%20Who%20Walked%20Away%20from%20Omelas.pdf). As a citizen of the town, what decision would you really make, and why? What similarities are there for you between the story of Omelas and this murder? Be ready to share and explain your opinion. Back it with material you feel supports your stance.

Welcome to 1302 and Final Exam Potluck Guidelines, Vol. 1

Below are the following items on the menu ban list
Pork
Beef
Peas
Lentils
Olives
Avocado
Shell fish
Peanut Butter
Sugar (Cut the amount of sugar down, if you are not able to omit altogether.)
Acids (Citrus. Be ready to warn classmates if you needed to include it in your recipe.)
Light Salt (Please be as light on the salt as possible.)

We do have at least one further diet restriction. While it is not necessary to make all dishes conform to these restrictions (except in the case of allergies), it would be kind and pioneering of you to work out a dish that does not include the above listed items and could be vegetarian- or vegan-friendly.

A challenge, though not a demand: try to cut down or cut out carbs. What kinds of dishes can you make?
