Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

Making and Sharing Reflection

A great example of how my learning influenced my work would be through sole creation of the dish itself. For example, when me and my partner began our work on our cookies, we were quick to reread all the steps over as much as possible. I was quick to get our items together, and made sure to remain enthusiastic. Being energetic provides an example of being full of motivation, both to yourself and your peers. We were able to stay strictly on task, not doubting our work which could provide as another fundamental for why it turned out the way it did. Mixing our ingredients together, we made sure to reserve our extra care for balance and measurement. This can be shown with how evenly we softly rolled our dough to even shape. After adding a pinch of flour on top and placing them in the oven, the crumble cookies looked and tasted to our likings.

The recipe turned out successfully, with each bite being enjoyable at very worst. It is best to try these treats with your immediate family, however sharing it amongst friends wouldn’t hurt. As long as someone is there to enjoy the made dish, that is all that matters.

Core competencies

I find that the ways I communicate while cooking differ from how I communicate in my food studies class are shown to differentiate heavily when I am in another group, such as Track & Field. I find that when I’m in my foods class, it is less of a physical exercise on your body and more of a mental one. While with Track, you must put focus into skill for running, it is almost night and day with how much effort you need to put into focusing your accuracy between each ingredient. One thing that I’ll say I find similar though, is how both may allow teamwork to help you reach your goal better.

Whenever me and my groupmates are unsure of what steps to take, I make sure to provide them with the information needed, allowing them to prevail while also giving them tips to make it possibly turn out more.

My main strategies for collecting important information may include highlighting the required text. It allows my eye to catch it immediately if i ever need to go back, and it almost burns a hole into my mind in a way that embeds it. Another strategy I might use is listening intently BEFORE writing the criteria down in my own words. This allows my mind to not only gather but translate given information, shuffling it in a way my brain can understand.

My main focus is communication. When the group isn’t working well together, it’s best to mold ideas to their liking as to provide an environment all of us can be sustained in. With our minds pitched together we usually end up making some of the most delectable treats in my opinion. It aways makes me proud to see the improvement we can make as a group when we take these steps.

My Goal

I would like to work more on my active listening. I find that I already do fine in this field, however lately i believe that I get carried away easily in my own thoughts. A prime goal I have is to stay on track more. A way that I believe this could be done is through a more active and repetitive sleep schedule. Other than that, I am quite confident in my abilities.
