Gather research for an essay about one of the topics explored in Fast Food Nation. Specifically, your assignment must show that you have a strong research question and at least five sources that might help you answer that question. You won't actually draft your essay until Lesson 2, however.
A research question will give your research a clear goal. Each source you find should have the potential to answer at least part of the research question and bring you closer to understanding the issue that you've decided to explore. Your assignment will list these sources on an annotated works-cited page.
