 Seeing all the different types of food showed me that everyone has so many different swings of a base food. There were so many types of chicken in all the slides which shows we are all connected, but the differences shows how we are also different. Today everyone presented their powerpoint.

 Food comes from all different types of places so knowing where the food is from that you ate growing up, tells you about where you are from. In the Mississippi delta video the Asian people eat southern food with their own cultural swing on it, which continues to show their family where they are from with the mixtures of food. Today we watched 2 videos and read a story about cultural identity in food.

 A food that is a staple of my family would be open faced sandwiches. It was a great depression food that has been passed down through our family. It is beans cheese and bacon on a hamburger bun. My dad has always said that the meal keeps us humble and reminds us of how lucky we are. This meal has been in my family for almost 100 years. It is important to my culture because it shows the southern pride in our food.

 My granddad has always loved southern cafeteria food, so my dad has always loved it as well and that got passed to me. So every time that we can we go to a cafeteria that serves southern food and it is always a memory of my granddad. The experience taught me that habits can always be passed down. Today we finished the essay.

 The whole writing process strengthened my final essay because I was able to troubleshoot with what to write, how to write, etc. I learned that I can find different pathways of explaining something with different evidence. I also found that I can dig deep into my brain to find different trains of thought.

 Drafting is an important step in the writing process because you can think about all of your ideas, if they are bad it is good to get it out and if they are good then you are set for success. The draft helped me realize what I did wrong based on the rubric, so after writing the draft tweaking it to the rubric was easy. I had made some mistakes with the quotes and how to tell the page numbers, but luckily I made the mistake in the draft so I could fix it.
