After viewing the MonkeySee video, one thing that stood out to me was that organic foods with multiple ingredients may contain less than 100% organic food ingredients, with the remaining 5% approved non-organic ingredients. I was curious as to what that list was and this article does a nice job of explaining.

This is to correct the URL of my previous post.

This article supports the idea that organic foods are better for us than non organic foods.

Teens Healthy(!) Habits is a good overview of what kids currently eat and how healthy their choices are. Again, may be a good article to go with the other kids perspective looks at eating and organic foods.

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.
