Top Chef vs english

The structure of the reality show Top Chef, is similar to that of our college English class. In the show they receive a challenge that they must complete, in a certain amount of time. The point of the challange is to do their best to great some sort of food dish, that has to impress the judges, and beat out the rest of the contestants. In English, we are assigned papers, which can be considered our "challenges." With our papers, we're given a time frame in which the paper has to be completed. Our goal for the paper = do the best we can to impress the teacher and get the best grade possible. While the show goes on and the challenges get harder and harder, our papers follow the same trend. We must continuously work on how we can improve our paper challenges just as they must work on how to improve their dishes each show. By having the challenges get harder, its expanding our, and their horizon and making us step out side the box to try something new, possibly make a mistake, and learn how to fix it.
Once the judging of their dishes or our papers come around, you'll notice that how they get judged on the show and how our papers get judged is extremly similar. The judges on the show first start with compliments and constructive critizisim, and then really just lay in and let them know what they need to fix. When our papers get graded they often are graded and given comments based on constructive critizism. Therefor I understand why we watched Top Chef for Enlgish.
