Core Competency Self-Assessment: Food Studies

Critical Thinking

I used the core competency critical thinking during our cupcake lab. My partner and I had planned to use piping bags and tips to frost our cupcakes but we realized that there were no more piping tips left, we used critical thinking and decided to use a plastic bag and cut a small hole in the end to work as our piping bag. Our cupcakes were also a different shape, we used critical thinking to discover that its because we did not use cupcake liners and that effected the shape of our cupcakes.

CPR Reflection

I learned that CPR is very hard and can take a lot of practice and that most CPR is actually done wrong because of how difficult it is to do it hard and fast enough.

My main takeaway is that i would feel a little bit more comfortable if i had to do CPR in an emergency. I dont think that i would be great at it but i know more than i did before.

The CPR unit and nutrition unit tie in together because if you have high blood cholesterol or high blood pressure you have a higher chance of having a heart attack or stroke, and good nutrition can help prevent having high blood cholesterol or high blood pressure.

Core Competency Reflection

I ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener. I did this during our CPR unit if i didnt understand anything about how to do it i asked the teacher or another student

I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way. I did this assighnment to share what i learned during our CPR unit in a clear organized way.

I am kind to others, and support others when they need it. I try to talk to most people in the class and im always kind when i talk to someone new so everyone feels welcome in our gym class.

I can tell the difference between facts and opinions. During our nutrition unit many people had diffrent opinions on some of the diets weather they thought they were good or bad. Many people thought the keto diet was very unhealthy and not good for losing weight but thats not the case and im able to see that not everything you hear is a fact and sometimes its just an opinion.

I participate in classroom or group activities that improve the class, school, or community. I need to work on trying to participate in everything during class. I find it hard to participate during everything because sometimes i have a lot of anxiety when i have to do something infront of a group of people.
