Unit 1 In unit 1, Students begin to read Omnivores Dilemma, a literary non-fiction text that follows food production from the beginning (plant or animal) to the consumer. This text serves to build background knowledge about what happens to food before it gets to the consumer and decisions consumers make regarding good consumption. This module focuses the students' ability to evaluate an author's claim and specifically analyzes Michael Pollan’s arguments and the evidence he uses to support his claims.
