Presentation: Your 100-Mile Diet
Follow the instructions on p. 154 in Leap.
You may work with a partner if they come from the same region of your country. If you present alone, presentation should be 5-7 minutes. If you present with a partner, 8-10 minutes.
First, make a list of the foods that are available within 100 miles (160 km) of your home and divide them into categories on the chart on p. 154.
Then, prepare a pie chart that will show us one day of your diet during the summer and another pie chart for one day on your diet in the winter, when fresh produce is not bountiful (unless you live in a tropical environment). Divide the pie chart into categories of produce (fruits and vegetables), grain products, milk products, and meat products.
For you presentation:
1. Explain where you live and what food sources are available to you within the 10-mile limit. Organize your content logically, such as by food categories, by distance from your home or by season.
2. Tell us what one day on your 100-mile diet would look like in the summer and in the winter. What would you eat for each meal? How would you satisfy your nutrition requirements for the categories mentioned in your pie chart?
3. Prepare an attention-grabbing introduction and a thoughtful and reflective conclusion (in this presentation, the conclusion should not be a summary). A good introduction can start with some interesting or surprising statistics, a thought-provoking question or idea, or an anecdote (story).
4. Use verbal cues and transition words to clearly lead us from one point to the next.
Presentations will take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week:
