BASIC SCONES

Making and Sharing Reflection

Our group worked well in sharing space and getting along well. We worked individually when we had to gather the ingredients and mix the dry ingredients. We worked collaboratively when we had to discuss how we would organize the cooking session. We shared responsibilities while cooking the food and cleaning up. We shared the food in a way where we all get a fair shared amount. If one of us did not want part of our share one of us would eat it so we are not wasting. We all had around the same amount of ability to cook in the kitchen so we worked very well together. Overall the group environment was very well.

Core Competency Reflection

While working in the kitchen, I help to build and extend understanding by asking questions to my piers. I ask questions to understand who’s role with who. If we need help and are confused, we always go to the teacher and ask. If there is a disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to agree to disagree and then ask a teacher. If you just agree to disagree then you can’t really argue anymore and get an older, more experienced person to help us. Most of the times our group did not get into disagreements while cooking, sometimes just in regular conversations though. If the group is not productive, we can try to forget about the other stuff we will be doing during the day in order to get moving in the right direction. Sometimes when we are finished cooking we strike a conversation instead of cleaning up. It is easy to get side tracked but easy to get in the right direction. When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t no well I try to talk a bit to make it less awkward. When we have similarities I love to talk about those because it makes us both involved in the conversation.
