This documentary film outline addresses the issue of whether the cost of food determines what people eat and who gets hurt. The outline provides an introduction to the topic and develops reasons for the argument, including that children are becoming obese before age 20 and public schools may be feeding unhealthy food due to cost. It also discusses gathering evidence from primary and secondary sources to support the reasons. The outline lists some visuals and credits potential sources to include.

2. Persuasive Purpose
• The fallowing topics are much too broad. Provide an issue question to narrow them down.
• Steroids: Should elementary school students be tested for the use of steroids?
• Immigration: Does immigration laws be revised?
• Health Care: Should the old people in the U.S. be allowed to free healthcare?
• Capital Punishment: Is there anything at all that makes capital punishment a wrong thing?
• Now provide an issue question based on your topic:
• Topic: Unhealthy foods vs. Healthy Food
• Question: Does cost of food determines what you eat? Who gets hurt?

3. Developing Reasons for Argument
Some Reasons for Argument
Children are becoming obese Does the food being served in
before the age of 20 schools making children morbidly
obese?
Children will developing health Is there someone doing something
issues before the average person about it?
with health issues caused by eating
unhealthy
Are public schools feeding kids Who else is being affected by the
unhealthy food because of it’s high cost of healthy food?
cost?

4. Gathering Evidence to Support
Reasons
• Which primary sources from your literature review will be useful to include in your
documentary film? Why? The primary sources that I will use from the literature review are
two articles I got from the UTEP library data base EBSCO because they both had lots of useful
information that can help support my reasons for my argument.
• Which secondary sources from your literature review will be useful to include in your
documentary film? Why? I’m goanna keep using two websites I used before that as my
secondary sources because they give information on what people are most likely to know.
• How will you integrate and utilize this research in your documentary film? I will use it as a
guide for my film project. It will help me because it is all based on research and that helps me
target the main points I want to present.
• Will you have to do additional research? Why or why not? Yes, because the argument that
I’m going to use in my documentary film is a more specific thing from my topic.

5. Intro and Visuals
• Most of the main reasons for the
bad food choices people make
are not very reasonable. They are
reasons like not having enough
money at the time of hunger or
just wanting to eat at the same
restaurant more than once in a
week. Some people eat unhealthy
food because they just don’t
know how to cook.
