  1. Select one of the three Topic Options below, and view the associated video.
    • Option 1 – Genetically Modified Organisms GMOs

    • Option 3 – Food Waste
  2. In a detailed paragraph, explain why you chose the topic you selected, and what you knew about this topic before doing this assignment.

  4. In a detailed paragraph, specify if you agree with what you learned on your selected topic. Explain why or why not. If you do not agree with what you saw, share a resource that supports your perspective on the topic.

For your two replies (due by the following Tuesday)

  1. Read the posts of at least two peers: select peers that researched the terms you did not select. The point is to learn about all three terms, one from your research, and the other two from your peers’ work.
  2. Explain to your peer what you learned from their post and how their information was similar and/or different from your information. How do these two topics overlap or relate to each other?
