Assignment:

Part 4 of the English 102 research paper is where you should put together everything you have learned about research, documentation, and research writing, via a predetermined topic of your choice. In this essay, you should address issues you haven’t engaged with yet, and you should give back some of your ideas in the spirit of academic symbiosis.

Be sure to think of your audience with this final essay: what do you want to teach them; what ideas are you trying to persuade them to believe or accept?  What have you learned?  What is your vision of food now that you have completed all these weeks of researching, reading, writing, and thinking?
