From Scratch The Movie

My Movie

Plot, Character, Setting, Mood

I learnt that you must put thoughts and evidence from the book together, In order to figure out what your character might look like or act like. In the book their was not a lot of information about what my character looked like. I had to assume what my character looked like based off of other information like her job and her personal life choices. For an example in my book Lucy stated that she does not wear a lot of makeup, so based off of that I assumed what her face might look like. I also had to assume what my characters age was. Lucy in the book said she worked in Diana’s bakery for over twenty years, based off of that information I knew that Lucy must be older that twenty. For choosing my plot points I thought of the key scenes and important information that people would need to know about. For an example I wrote a significant scene from the beginning of my book and a few from the middle and the end as well. Because Lucy worked in a bakery I assumed the main setting would be the bakery. To me the word mood means what you feel from watching the movie. I think the mood of my book was happy because most people in the book acted like they were happy. I picked the song I picked because it seemed to match the happy, chill kind of vibe of my book. This is why I chose that song.

Core Competency Reflection

  • This is how I select images and words to create impact for different audience. I did this by reading my book over again and writing down powerful words as well as significant words in my book.
  • Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in my voice over. I used a clear voice to communicate the story and plot of my book to others.
  • In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by suggesting cool deigns that could be used in peoples PowerPoint movie. I also shared my thoughts and opinions with the class in some discussions as well.
  • My goal: I use evidence to make judgements or decisions. I think I need to improve on this because I did not include much evidence on where I got my thoughts from.

INGREDENTS:                  

Meat 

  • 3 Chicken breasts, boneless skinless.           

Produce 

  • 2 Garlic cloves 
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder 
  • 12 oz Mushrooms 
  • 2 Of fresh thyme, large springs 
  • 2 Shallots, large thin 

Canned Goods 

  • 1 1/2 cups Chicken broth, low sodium 

Condiments 

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard 

Baking & Spices 

  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour 
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch 
  • 1 tsp Pepper 
  • 1/2 tsp Salt 

Oils & Vinegars 

  • 1 tbsp Olive oil 

Dairy 

  • 4 tbsp Butter, unsalted 
  • 1/2 cup Heavy cream  

Directions 

  1. 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. 
  1. In a shallow bowl combine the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Set aside. 
  1. 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. 
  1. 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. 
  1. 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. 
  1. 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.

Collaboration Reflection

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.

My Favorite Quote

-Zig Ziglar

What You get by achieving your goal is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. This is one of my favorite qoutes because it is basically telling You that it’s good that You sticked to you goal and reached it, But what’s even more importent is who you’ve become. I chose this qoute because my teakwondo instructor would say something like this and it really inspired me.
