Smoothie Bowl

In making this smoothie bowl, we had to be creative when selecting the ingredients for it. We wanted to select ingredients that would blend well together, as well as create the right consistency for the smoothie bowl. I also had to work with my partner to create something we would both enjoy. Doing this lab with four of us in one kitchen, I needed to communicate with my groupmates in order to create an effective and positive workspace. I also needed to work with them in order to finish the lab on time. Since we have limited time to make our food, we have to be time efficient. We each have a duty, and if one of us is finished theirs early, they help the others.

Core Competency Reflection

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to communicate with them beforehand and discuss each person’s role.

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to see each person’s point of view and find a compromise.

If the group is not productive, we can reassess our initial plan and make adjustments in order to get things moving in the right direction.

One goal I would like to work towards:

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I should focus on communicating with them and getting more comfortable with them, so that I can collaborate effectively.
