Justification

On monday, i chose to make 2 grilled cheese snadwiches because it takes a really short time as it only takes 20 minutes, meaning that there will be enough time for parent A to have dinner ready early so that everyone could start eating i also chose to make 2 grilled cheese sandwiches because it will serve the whole family. I will also have Parent A cook because he will have enough time to finish dinner just in time when everyone is home.

On Tuesday, I chose to make black bean tacos because it doesn’t consume as much time and because it serves 4 people, which is perfect as it is just the amount of people that we have in the family. On Tuesday I will have teen 1 cook since its going to be an easy recipe as it only takes 15 minutes to make, I also chose teen 1 to cook becasue he has a lot of time for him to cook until everyone is home.

On wednesday i chose to make a half recipe tuna cassarole because it serves 4 people and it doesnt take that long and plus its not a hard recipe which will make it easier for teen 2 to help with the cooking. I will have both parent B and teen 2 cook because they will have enough time to finish dinner when everyone is home.

On Thursday I chose to make spinach and cheese ravioli because it’s a really delicious dish and because it serves 4 people and only takes 20 minutes which is exactly what I wanted as I will be able to make dinner ready just in time when everybody’s. On Thursday, I will have parent A cook, as there will be enough time for him to make the food fresh before parent B comes so that they can all eat together, as the recipe only takes 20 minutes.

On Friday i chose to make vegetable pad thai because it will serve the whole family and because it doesnt take that long to make. I will have parent B cook because he will have the time to finish making dinner when everyone is home.

Collaboration Reflection

• Me and my group communicated through a shared document where we planned and discussed our decisions. we also communicted through a teams room created for us which we used to talk about our choices on the meal planning assignment.
• Me and my group used technology through creating a shared word document so that it can be easier for us to cimmunicate. However using technology got pretty rough as not everybody participated on communicating in the word document which made it hard for us to get our work done.
• Tasks were distributed in our group based on our interests as everyone just picked what they wanted to do and when they wanted to do, all on their own. However we did have to make some changes in assigning tasks as we had situation where people picked the same recipe and so we had to give the recipe to the one who asked for it first. Ali: Friday, tuesday, Wednesday, and friday. Hyunseo: Monday
• Tasks that I completed included making the justification for the following days: Tuesday, Wednsesday, Thursday and Friday. I also made the justification for why I choose whom to cook for the same days. You can see my contribution by checking our word dcoument and finding that there are no justification for the days except on this post.

Self Assessment: Collaboration & Critical Thinking

If there is a disagreement within the group, i find it helpful to find a solution that works for both by taking consideration to include both opinions so that there can be no more disagreement.

I know the group is working well when i see them communicating with eachother and when i see them collaborating with eachother on the tasks.

I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I changed the person cooking for my days so that someone else can use him because it fit his schedule more.

I seek, develop and weigh options as demonstrated by choosing whom should cook for the the days and what they should cook.
