Berry Pavlova with Lemon Curd

Making and Sharing Reflection

To create this dessert, key tools include an electric mixer, whisk, small measures, pot and mixing bowls. Technologies like the oven are critical, while refrigeration is necessary to store the components overnight. The stove is used to make the tangy lemon curd. Food sources include eggs, sugar, cream, fresh berries, butter, and lemons, with pantry staples such as vanilla extract. Processes involve making the meringue and lemon curd on day one, and assembling the dessert with whipped cream, heated lemon curd and berries on day two. Costs were cheap, as we already had the majority of the ingredients. My group and I shared this meal with various teachers and peers. 

Core Competency Reflection

As an active listener, I notice that I stop what I am doing when the teacher is speaking. I focus on key points such as ingredients we will need and various procedures we can follow.

 Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in several steps of each lab. Before the process, my group and I communicate about our duties and what steps will take place. During the process I ask for help when I am confused and help peers who are struggling. 

 I show others that I truly value their contributions by acknowledging their help and support. I ensure that I do my share as well. This shows that I am not taking advantage of their time and energy. 

A goal I have for the future is to perfect my baking and cooking skills by experimenting with more intricate meals and desserts, such as tarts. This will positively impact my cooking experience later in life. I can share them with peers to receive criticism and develop my skills.

Communication/Collaboration

My above artifact is a squid my partner and I dissected together during a lab activity. Before starting the lab, we thoroughly planned our approach. We discussed who was going to collect the necessary tools, and what our personal duties were. This ensured that we were prepared before beginning the lab, making the process smooth. We collaborated all throughout the class, communicating and working together to maintain an efficient and successful lab. My partner collected the squid while I gathered the dissection tools. Together, we found various parts on the squid and labeled our scientific drawings, ensuring accuracy. I used several strategies to collect relevant information for the lab, including asking my partner clarifying questions and seeking guidance from the teacher when needed. This collaborative approach allowed us to successfully complete the lab while learning significant information about squid anatomy. I can ask and respond to questions to be an active, supportive listener when my partner is unsure about a task.

Communication and collaboration

meatball sliders and garlic bread

During this lab I demonstrated communication and collaboration with my group mates. First we spoke about who will be unit and ingredient person. We then ensured that we were all aware of what part of the dish we were making (meatballs or garlic bread), and what jobs we were doing (dishwasher, dish dryer, special duties, unit manager). We collaborated throughout the whole lab by talking to each-other and working together. We helped each other out with our duties and weren’t afraid to ask for help. For example, everyone helped out with dish washing and drying, although it wasn’t everyone’s jobs. I would like to continue collaborating and communicating with my group mates to make for more smooth and fun labs.

Textiles-Creative Thinking

 

I demonstrated my creative thinking skills during this cross stitching project by forming and developing my own ideas, while also building upon others’. I was originally going to remake someone else’s design of a green dinosaur, but I wanted to make it my own. I changed up all the colours and proportions, while also adding a hat and some Christmas lights (this was during Christmas time). Throughout this assignment, I gained critical and creative thinking skills, and learned how to cross stitch for the first time. Next time I would make my black border thicker, as its almost striped in this project. I think it would make for a cleaner, more finished look.

Creative thinking

When I noticed the design I selected lacked a tutorial, I applied creative thinking. An art project is generally not designed to be manufactured or drawn by others when there isn’t a tutorial for it. We do this out of respect for the original artist. I can employ new thoughts. I can also expand on other people’s ideas. When I noticed there wasn’t a tutorial, I made it my own. I used multiple skull designs and incorporated all of them in my artwork to give it more of an original look.
