Communication: Something I am most proud of is the first lab my class and I did. My partner and I worked very well together and we communicated a lot through out the lab. My partner and I both did equal amount of work to finish this lab. I listened to my partners ideas and my partner listened to my ideas as well. My partner and I were focused throughout the lab and stayed on task. We both had different tasks and one of my tasks was to wash the equipment we used. This lab was very interesting to watch the different chemicals change colours when put into different chemical bases.
When making fettuccine alfredo you need the following equipment, large pot + small pot, dry measures + small measures, colander, whisk, zester, paring knife, wooden spoon, clustered cup, liquid measure and a rubber spatula. When making this recipe there are two safety concerns, the stove and the zester. You could burn yourself on the stove and you could cut yourself with the zester. For this recipe you are using your knife skills when cutting the garlic because you have to cut it very small.
When making the fettuccine alfredo I thought it was very successful. Me and my group communicated well. We all had a job in order to make this lab successful. One person was in charge of cooking the noodles, another person was in charge of cutting/ grating ingredients, and lastly there was two people doing there own sauce.
Core Competency Reflection
While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend understanding by…talking to my group before we cook to make sure everyone is on the same page and knows what to do. This also helps me to clear up any confusion I had.
I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see… people talking about whos jobs are whos to make sure the lab can be successful. And our group works together by helping each other out once one person is finished there job.
As an active listener, I notice that … when I say words out loud it helps me remember them more. So that also connects back to me wanting to raise my hand up more in class discussions. I think it could help my learning. To achieve this goal I will learn to not be scared to raise my hand up even if I think the answer could be wrong.
