Crowdsourcing Food

A few weeks ago, the JCCC English Department elected to collect food for the school’s food pantry. Being the cheapskate that I am, I figured I should dump the responsibility over to my students. Here’s how it worked. I have six groups in each Comp II class. These groups will be making presentations over the course of six weeks coming up. Groups were invited to bring food with the biggest donating group allowed to choose their week. Nobody had to bring anything and academic standards were not compromised. I love it. I even got them to lug most of the stuff from the classroom to my office.
