Roots and Recipes Brainstorm

Answer the following questions for your essay. You may decide to change your topic later, but I would like you to start thinking about it now

• What food will you be describing?
  
• What are some special memories it has for you?
  
• What are some sensory details that will help bring the food “to life” for your readers?
  
• Who will you be interviewing about your food?

Post your responses on your own blog.
