Problem:
The main problem was to make a good dinner schedule for the family.
Solution:
Justification:
For Monday we chose Teriyaki chicken because it fits the amount of time we had to cook and eat. It has 4 servings so there would be no leftovers and parent B is cooking because they have the most time. Dinner starts at 6:00 because everyone is home. We chose to start cooking at 5:25 so they have enough to cook and enough time to set the table.
For Tuesday they have Chicken Cauliflower Curry because it doesn’t take take too long to make, and it is suitable for Teen 1’s skill. We chose to use half of the recipe because there would be 4 servings and no leftovers. Dinner starts at 6:30 because everyone is home.
Wednesday they have Grilled Cheese because it is the quickest and easiest meal to make, since everyone is so busy that day. Teen 2 was chosen because he has the most time that day and Teen 2 can’t really cook complicated meals. We doubled the recipe to have 4 servings. Dinner starts at 6:30 because everyone is home and it is half an hour before anyone starts going.
For Thursday they have Alfredo Ravioli because they have have a lot of spare time to cook and eat the meal. We chose to have 6 servings so the Teens could have lunch for the next day. Parent A is cooking because
Friday they have Chicken pot pie. Parent B and Teen 1 is cooking because Chicken pot pie is a difficult meal and they’re skilled enough to make it. We chose this because it takes a long time, and they have a lot of time to cook. For this recipe, there are 6 servings, so they can invite their aunt and uncle. We chose 6 servings because that way, each family member has a serving.
Collaboration:
In our group, I think we collaborated well. Everyone in our group had different jobs. 2 people were finding different recipes and the other 2 were thinking of the time to make the food. I think using technology was pretty useful in the project, we used it for finding the recipes and working on the shared document and Edublog. In the group, each person contributed on why we chose the foods, who is cooking, and the different portions. We all shared our ideas and opinions of what we wanted. I completed a few things, for example, I chose the Grilled cheese on Wednesday and explained why we chose it.
Self Assessment: Critical Thinking
I think I showed Critical Thinking best. Whenever I am stuck on anything, I would have to persevere and think of different solutions to fix that, for example when I was stuck on why we chose the Alfredo Ravioli.
