Meal Planning Assignment

Problem

The problem is that we are trying to plan different meals for a family but they all have schedules that are different so we need to find a way they can all eat together.

Solution

We plan out different meals for each member of the family to cook that is fair and equal and that they can all try to eat together at most times and make sure that the dishes are not to hard for the person using a table.

Parent A
They also start cooking when they get home at 5:00.
Teen one
They get home from school and wait before cooking at 6:00.
Teen two, and teen one
They get home and then start cooking at 6:00.
Parent B
Starts cooking at 5:40
 
Dinner time  6:10 pm5:35 pm6:156:30 pm6:00

Justification

On Monday parent B cooks, I think this is a good idea since they get home before parent A and salmon is easy to mess up so its not best for the teens.

On Tuesday parent A cooks, I think it is a good idea since the recipe is not too hard after work and the teens could be busy with homework.

On Wednesday I have teen 1 cooking, I think it is a good idea since teen one is home almost all day which gives them time to prep for dinner and they can cook more advanced meals rather then teen 2.

On Thursday I have teen 1 and teen 2 cooking, i think it is a good idea since it could be good for family time and teen 2 can’t cook without someone else for more difficult recipes.

On Friday parent B is cooking, i think this is a good choice because they get home before parent A and while it seems easy it has many different flavors you could mess up.

Collaboration Reflection

Question 1. Me and my group communicated by using teams and word to share our ideas and make decisions.

Question 2. My group used technology to find most of our recipes and we used it too write our draft table and how we communicate are our ideas to each other.

Question 3. We distributed the jobs and tasks, by one person explaining the jobs and anyone who liked the idea could choose that job.

Question 4. I helped to find recipes and i explained most of the jobs on teams which can be found in my groups chat.

Self Assessment: Collaboration & Critical Thinking

Question 1. If they are hard working and understand the task and job they have

Question 2. I hear a good communication between group mates discussing the assignment.

Question 3. I showed this by finding all of the recipes that we used in our meal plan and that i helped to assign my groups tasks and jobs which is on our teams chat.

Question 4. When i think about who could be cooking what dishes and explore the different ideas my group may have and take it into mind when making decisions.
