This kid-friendly version of Fast
Food Nation covers a variety of important and disturbing topics
about the fast food industry, including:
-the connection between fast food and advertising to children
-the chemicalization of food
-the epidemic of fast food/soda pop served in school cafeterias
-the horrendous living conditions of cattle and chicken
-the correlation between the rise in obesity and the popularity
of fast food
To tackle these topics, we will try
out some pre-reading, during reading, and post-reading strategies
that can work well in any classroom, and that are new and exciting
to your students. It will be fun, it will be informative,
and it will leave you with many a burning question. Who knows,
you just may kick that McDonald's habit yet!
