Keep in mind the purpose of the writing assignment

Writing can have many different purposes. Here are just a few examples:

* Summarizing: Presenting the main points or essence of another text in a condensed form
* Arguing/Persuading: Expressing a viewpoint on an issue or topic in an effort to convince others that your viewpoint is correct
* Narrating: Telling a story or giving an account of events
* Evaluating: Examining something in order to determine its value or worth based on a set of criteria.
* Analyzing: Breaking a topic down into its component parts in order to examine the relationships between the parts.
* Responding: Writing that is in a direct dialogue with another text.
* Examining/Investigating: Systematically questioning a topic to discover or uncover facts that are not widely known or accepted, in a way that strives to be as neutral and objective as possible.
* Observing: Helping the reader see and understand a person, place, object, image or event that you have directly watched or experienced through detailed sensory descriptions.

You could be observing your dorm cafeteria to see what types of food students are actually eating, you could be evaluating the quality of the food based on freshness and quantity, or you could be narrating a story about how you gained fifteen pounds your first year at college.

You may need to use several of these writing strategies within your paper. For example you could summarize federal nutrition guidelines, evaluate whether the food being served at the dorm fits those guidelines, and then argue that changes should be made in the menus to better fit those guidelines.
