During this sharks tank assignment I demonstrated being kind to others, and supporting others when they need it. I was kind to my partner and I supported her when needed. My partner and I had different ideas for our project and I was kind and respectful about that. When my partner needed help on the presentation I asked how I could help and gave a few suggestions on what we can do to make our presentation better. An example of this is when my partner needed help on facts about the X-ray. I was able to research some information and facts about the x-ray and together we incorporated that information in our presentation. A few ways that I was being kind is when I realized that we are both good at different things. My partner was really good at designing our PowerPoint but I lacked in that area so we were kind to each other and supported each others weaknesses.
I Can Statement #2
I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behavior. When working with my partner I was always respectful. One way I demonstrated being respectful was when my partner needed help I gave her my support. I also listened and was open to her new ideas. I was respectful when we were sharing our opinions and thoughts about our project. I was able to give my ideas in a respectful way. During our project I was inclusive. I was inclusive by making and sharing a word document with my partner so we could both share our ideas and thought. This made it easy for us to work on our project together since we could both see the same thing on our laptops. I was also inclusive by always working together in class and by actually communicating in person to share our thoughts, opinions and changes we could make to our presentation.
A Summery Of The Assignment
For this assignment I was asked to make a PowerPoint Presentation about a product that helped the industrial revolution. We were given the option to work in pairs or alone to create one PowerPoint. We were also asked to give information on our topic we chose and present our PowerPoint in front of the class as if we were the actually inventor of the product. During our presentation We were asked to read our information to the class, share our photos of our invention, and ask people to invest in our business. At the end of our presentation we had to answer questions from our classmates and teacher.
I demonstrated social awareness and responsibility during this class character assignment. During this assignment, I was asked to come up with some ways that we could make the class a great environment for all. I was communicating with my group on ways we could be inclusive in the class. I remember that I said that we can accept everyone for who they are and include them in activities. Another person from my group said that we could use a picture of puppies because they come in all different sizes and shapes but they are all included in the puppy pile. I communicated and shared my ideas, thoughts, and opinions while being respectful. I was always aware of how I was sharing my thoughts. I made sure to be respectful when disagreeing or not liking something that someone said. Myself and my group also had to contribute ideas on how we would be welcomed. Welcoming was a hard word to define for my group and, so we asked each other what made us feel welcomed. We all had different ideas. Some people had a really different means of welcome than I did. I was respectful of their ideas and I shared my ideas with them. Over all, we were able to come to a common understanding and sentence that included all of our ideas. Then we also found a nice image that represented our meaning of welcoming.
A family is wanting to come up with a weekly meal plan, that will have everyone cooking throughout the week and it works with everyone’s weekly activities. They want to make a plan that involves when dinner will be, what will be cooked, how much to make and who is cooking.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Cut each breast in half horizontally into 2 thinner cutlets. Alternately, place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
In a shallow bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet. Heat over medium until the butter is melted. Dredge 3 chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, coating both sides, shaking off the excess flour. Add the coated chicken to the skillet and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Turn and cook another 3-5 minutes. Remove the cooked chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat until all chicken is browned.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan and heat until melted. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until the mushrooms are very dark on one side. Stir and turn the mushrooms and continue cooking until the moisture is released and then evaporated, and the mushrooms are all well browned.
Add the sliced shallots to the pan and cook until softened and starting to brown. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Pour the wine into the pan and scrape the bottom to deglaze. Add the thyme sprigs, chicken broth, mustard and cream. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch. Bring the sauce back to a light simmer and add the chicken. Heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and the chicken warmed through. Remove the thyme sprigs and season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with parsley or additional thyme and serve with rice, potatoes or noodles.
Justifications
Justification: Monday
I choose this recipe because its different yet is capable of meeting everyone’s tastes buds. The overall cook time is one hour, so I decided to choose Teen 1 and 2 to cook. They both get home first and will start cooking it around 4:30 when Parent A gets home. When parent be gets home dinner will be on the table and ready to go, so they can get to their fitness class on time for 7pm. Also, they will have enough left over for both teens to have one serving for lunch tomorrow.
Justification: Tuesday
I picked this recipe because it works with everybody’s schedule. It’s a recipe that is cooked in 20 minutes. Which means when Parent B gets home at 5:30 they can cook it 10 minutes after they get home with the normal portion size, and it’ll be done by 6:00. Then Parent A can eat it right when they get home, and teen 2 can get to soccer practice by 6:30.
Justification: Wednesday and Thursday
I chose this recipe because there can be leftovers, and it is a larger meal. Everyone can eat as a family. On Thursday as the left overs day, if someone in the family is hungry once they get home they can eat right away since the dish will be pre made for the night before. They would just need to heat it up.
Justification: Friday
I chose this recipe because Friday is a day that the dinner can take longer, and this recipe does. Also, parent A and Parent B will get two portions.
How we communicated and shared information with each other: The technology was used by all the group members. We used technology to see the word document. We all did one food dish, got the ingredients and recipes from the examples. We added why each of us chose that meal, who cooks the meals and when each meal is eaten in the day.
We had a email thread to use in case we needed to connect outside of school, if anyone needed help.
