    Read a dialogue between two people discussing the pros and cons of choosing organic food. Includes a worksheet for students to fill in different opinions on the pros and cons of eating organic foods.

    Hi Leelah, nice job finding and posting resources on Diigo! One issue that I noticed is that you tagged this and some other resources "BWG organic search" instead of "BGWOrganicSearch" (Notice there are no spaces). While this may seem like a minor distinction, the purpose of asking students to use these specific tags is so that anybody in the course can easily find all the resources related to organic foods by simply clicking on a common tag. You can fix the tags by clicking edit for each bookmark. Also, I noticed that you bookmarked several articles about organic food, but I don't see that you bookmarked any general search engines for kids as requested in Assignment 7 - Part 2. Thanks

    Another thing I noticed is that because you are using spaces in your tags some of the phrases that you want to tag, for example "pros and cons of organic" are getting split up into several smaller tags. The issue with this is that it creates tags that don't have much meaning, for example "of" or "and". The best way to group a phrase as a single tag is to put quotes around the entire tag, like "pros and cons of organic". Other ways are to put underscores between words, like pros_and_cons_or_organic. And a final way is to not use spaces and to vary the capitalization, like example ProsAndConsOfOrganic.

  • The difference between "organic" and "natural" foods is that the word "natural" isn't regulated. Manufacturers can call any product "natural," except for meat and poultry. It would be up to the consumer to decide whether to trust the company. Not so with organics.

    Hi Steve, when I try to access this site it asks for a "UserGroup Identification". How did you access this resource?

    I accessed all of these resources through the Bank Street Library databases. Since I did my work from the school I had direct access. I assume that if you use the Bank Street Library log on information that everyone received, you would be able to access this resource.

    Unfortunately the code that we were given doesn't work on this prompt. I will write to Kristen and see if there's a fix for this.

    Dov - were you able to get a code to access this doc? I would love to read this as it seems to be relevant to my search! Thanks

    Unfortunately not. Steve, I noticed that this article came from the Albany Times Union. If you don't mind could you try to find the article on their website and post the link in the comments here or as a separate bookmark. Thanks.

    This is the best I came up with. http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-163029099/organic-foods-taking-root.html I will keep searching.
