Final Project Update:
       As i begin my research into the art and history of sushi, and its migration to western culture, i have come across many worthwhile reads (and some restaurant menus). I want to introduce the class to the different types of sushi, and how each is prepared. i don't know yet how i should design my presentation, but i am thinking of just going chronologically through history. Here are some links that are both scholarly and not as much.
        To the topic of sushi itself and its design:

• THE ART OF SUSHI
• Sushi: it’s more than just raw fish | The Japanese Culture Club

        To the topic of its globalization and adaptation:

• 36Carroll氏-times.indd
• The Truth About American Sushi No One Wants to Hear
• Sushi standards and the American way - The Washington Post

I will continue to add to these lists as i continue research.
