Thin Crust Pizza

Making and Sharing Reflection

Identify appropriate tools, technologies, food sources, processes, cost implications, and time needed for production

When making this recipe I made sure that I was using all the appropriate tools so I didn’t have to do extra dishes. I used a Jellyroll pan to bake the pizza on and used a cutting board and knife to cut the peppers and spinach. It took about two days to complete this dish because we made the dough one day and added the toppings and baked it the next day. The reason why it took two days to make this pizza is because the dough takes about 12-24 hours for the yeast to activate and rise.

Assess their ability to work effectively both individually and collaboratively, including their ability to share and maintain an efficient co-operative workspace

While making this recipe I worked effectively both individually throughout stretching the dough into the pizza shape because you weren’t supposed to work with our group members during this step. But I worked with my group while cutting the vegetables and baking part because we had to communicate who’s pizza was going in the oven first because there was only one pizza allowed in the oven at a time so it would cook evenly.

Core Competency Reflection

Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members is… making sure that my group members are happy and agree to take on a task, for example ingredient person or unit person. and equally dividing the tasks evenly towards everyone.

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to…make sure we are following the recipe correctly and kitchen rules.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see…my group members getting along and helping each other on the recipe questions. And helping one another when they finished their tasks before somone elses in our group.

While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend understanding by…explaining things to my group members if their unsure of something or the teacher is busy with another group. Also helping other groups that are behind on cleaning up while my group has already completed that.

One Goal

One goal that I have for myself going forward is When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I will ask questions to get to know them better and will actively listen when they are speaking. I am working on this goal because I’m not close with a lot of people in my class and I want to get to know them more.
