"Considering the Hamburger"

Write a rough draft version of the "Considering the Hamburger" activity we began in class.  This assignment can be completed in pen or pencil since it is a rough draft.  We will be peer editing the rough drafts in class on Tuesday.

*Brief explanation of the activity:  This is an activity exploring the processes, natural resources, and effort that goes into something we are all familiar with, the hamburger.  For this assignment the hamburger being "considered" consists of only four main parts: 1)Beef Patty  2)Lettuce  3) Bun (Bread) 4) Sesame Seeds.
Students need to explain how each of these four parts began and how they eventualy became part of a hamburger. (HINT: Do not forget about transportation)

**Be sure to use full sentences and proper paragraph structure.
