SWA #12

This article was about a woman who believed that healthy food was essential for a children's well being.  She gave examples of how they worked for a few kids.  She emphasized how children need to learn the importance of farming and how that relates to us.

I didn't understand what the assignment was so I just summarized.  I know what an annotated bibliography is but I don't understand how to annotate an article without sources.

1.  According to Waters food teaches values central to democracy by helping children understand cooperation.  They learn about how farmers depend on land, we depend on farmers, and our nation depends on us, and this shows them the importance of working together.

2. She makes the claim that healthier food leads to better learning by students, and she supports this claim with an example from a school in Wisconsin.  I think more evidence would have definitely strengthened her argument because right now I'm not at all convinced.

3. I'm not sure about the state of south carolina, but I know that the school district that I am from would never do anything like this program.
