Homework for Tuesday, June 11


Find an online article or video in English that interests you and post the link on your blog by 12:00pm tomorrow, 6/12. Some websites to try are: www.cnn.com, www.nola.com, www.npr.com, www.inthenola.com, www.bbc.co.uk.

With the link, include the title of the article, the author’s name, and a maximum of five sentences explaining what the article is about in your OWN WORDS.

"CHALLENGE: How LOCAL are you?" by IntheNOLA.com
The "Eat Local Challenge" is happening in New Orleans for the month of June in which New Orleanians are encouraged to eat as much local food as possible, meaning anything that is "grown, caught, or raised within a 200-mile radius of New Orleans." Since this can be quite difficult, people are encouraged to go to shop at farmer's markets and other local vendors in order to get the freshest food possible rather than packaged and processed foods which have tons of chemicals and are therefore unhealthy. In addition, several local restaurants are offering all-local meals on their menus to help those who are doing the challenge.
