Write two reviews: one of a chapter from Fast Food Nation and one of your essay
from Lesson 2; you'll evaluate both using the same criterion, or standard. Then you'll
revise your Lesson 2 essay based on what you've discovered.

Your essay should include the following elements:

 A review of a single chapter from Fast Food Nation that summarizes it objectively
and evaluates it according to a criterion of your choice

 A review of your Lesson 2 essay based on the same criterion; this review should
also start with an objective summary

 An essay with all the content required in Lesson 2, including five credible sources
and a thesis statement, but revised to fix any weaknesses you found in your
review

 A works-cited page that lists all the sources according to MLA guidelines

You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one.
If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:

 Do both of my reviews begin with an objective summary that avoids opinionated

language?
  Do both of my reviews end with an evaluation based on the same criterion (such
as use of evidence or organization)?

 Do I correct problems in my Lesson 2 essay that I pointed out while writing my

review? Do I also correct problems that my teacher identified in this essay? Do I
follow all the same requirements from Lesson 2?

 Do I avoid plagiarism by quoting, paraphrasing, and citing sources correctly?

 Does my works-cited page list all the sources that I cite in my essay? Does it
follow MLA guidelines?

 Does my essay have a professional style and an objective tone? What about my
reviews?
