Through a series of discussion of readings, documentaries, lectures, and writing workshops this course will focus on rhetoric centered around food, particularly the place food occupies in our memories and identities. Through writing, readings, documentaries, and food experiences, students will explore how food connects them to the land, culture, homes, and shapes identities. Students will write effectively about a food memory or experience using the techniques of narration, description, reflection, and source integration, as well as learn, use, and implement the canons of rhetoric: invention, arrangement, memory, style, and delivery. Students will present their food memoir in an audio/visual presentation for their classroom peers and articulate the meaning of their food memoir and its connection to their voices and identities.
