Presentation: Food issues

1. We will build our understanding of food issues by hearing a set of presentations that look at the pros and cons of various options.

2. You will be paired with one other person from your team for a specific topic. One will present the pros; the other will present the cons. Each of you will have 2 minutes. Make your points clearly and do not overload your time. Do not speak fast; use a normal delivery. Organize your points carefully and practice before next Tuesday.

3. Prepare one slide which has a short list of Pro/Con issues that will be shown during the presentation.

4. There will time for one question from the audience, addressed to either the pro or con presenter. Be prepared.
