Favorite Recipe

Fried Rice

Making and Sharing Reflection

Making this recipe had crucial steps to make the outcome of this, some of the steps is to cook the rice ahead of time so this recipe can be fast when we make it with all ingredients ready. Another is to perfectly cook the egg so it doesn’t overcook in the fried rice. Chopping and preparing the ingredients is key so the fried rice has small bite sized veggies. Cooking the veggies to perfection so that they don’t overcook is also crucial. Lastly the sauce is the 2nd important ingredient to this dish as it provides the fried rice taste.

Core Competency Reflection

The 4 Core competency’s I chose were:

One of the ways I ensure my group is clear on the common purpose is to… – check with them and review what each of our jobs are ahead of cooking.

I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see… – Good communication, no arguments, and some fun as well.

If the group is not productive, we can …. in order to get things moving in the right direction. – we can work together to solve our problems.

As an active listener, I notice that I … – If anything is changed on the recipe, if there are key steps, and if there’s techniques to use.

One goal I have is to work with people and take bigger roles when needed and the ways I communicate. Ways to achieve that is to be prepared and have a good attitude.

Making and Sharing Reflection

I am reflecting on “Create food products, working individually or collaboratively, and making changes as needed” and “Critically evaluate the success of meals, and explain how design ideas contribute to the individual, family, community, and environment. I think I had done good in creating food products and working with others or by myself as the more recipes we did. After a couple of food labs I got the hang of working in groups of 3, in partners, and by myself when my partner is going for ingredients or if I am going for ingredients. I also did make changes in the event it was needed such as if my partner was away for one of the labs, I was able to adjust. The only struggle I had was a bit of communication while in the process of cooking. But I overall think I did great. I also properly evaluated the meals I created, if they were good or not, and if I would ever make them again.

Core Competency Reflection

Here are my 3 core competencies:

  1. As an active listener, I notice that… : I chose this core competency because I noticed that when I actively listen I can learn some important things that help me later on. I also notice when I actively listen I could help improve my grades in some way.
  2. I know when the group is working well together when I hear/see : I chose this because the group had properly made the scones and were properly communicating.
  3. If the group is not productive, we can … in order to get things moving in the right direction : I chose this because when we didn’t work productively, I would always try to help and solve the issue to keep working.

One goal I have going forward is being better at showing how I value feedback, I think sometimes I take feedback a bit too personal and it could lead to a bad group experience, so I want to improve in that.

Capitol Mutation Collaborative Project

My Project

Public Speaking

Overall, I learned new things about public speaking that could’ve learned in the past that could help me. New things I learned was 1 for powerpoints look at the laptop screen instead of looking back, this helped me a lot for looking more focused into my parts and easily reading on what parts I need to do in case I forgot. I also tried not looking directly at the audience but looking slightly higher as it took away any stuttering that I used to have with public speaking before. I also as part of audience just payed attention without doing anything silly to distract the presenter. I felt more comfortable speaking with the recent powerpoints than the past with these new tricks.

Collaborating Core Competency Reflection

My four prompts I chose were:

  1. I show others that I truly value their contributions by… I chose this one because in this project I showed to my partner I have a strength on making the picture of our mutation.
  2. I am clear on the difference between simple “group work” and collaboration as evidenced by… I chose this because one way I am clear on the difference is that collaboration has a bigger role, you are responsible for the project in case the partner can’t work on it.
  3. If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to… I chose this because I find it helpful to solve what is the better option to go with in cases like what art should we use.
  4. Some things I think about before dividing tasks among group members include… I chose this because some of the ways we divide the work is on which person has what strength and weakness, therefore we can work efficiently and evenly.

One goal I have going forward is to just work on my weaknesses so that in bigger roles of a project I dont have to face problems.

Hunger Games Persuasion Project

My Advertisement

This is our advertisement for a Asus laptop on sale for 20% off.

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

This project is to advertise a laptop on sale that would appeal to people in Panem. We used an eye appeal technique to grab attention of the person looking at the ad that this laptop is on sale for 20% off. We highlighted the 20% off in yellow due to the brightness of the yellow which overtakes the other colours in the picture to grab every person’s eye. Our ad is a plain folk ad as it would appeal to anyone in Panem as its affordable and a valuable item to buy. The final thought for the reader would be to look into the laptop and buy it since its on sale only for a limited time.

Core Competency Reflection

This presentation helped me in group work in social and skill as I got more involved than past recent work with my contribution to this project. The second thing that it helped me in was the feedback as I in cases where I didn’t agree with a thing on our project told what could make it better in some cases. The third thing would be asking help, I asked help when really needed unlike the past where I would try to do it on my own which was a huge problem. The last thing would be building upon someone’s idea, I took criticism and suggestions from my group members to help make my contribution better as well as do the same thing with my other group members.

Risks and Contract Law

What did I learn about risks and contracts today? 

I learned things such as the different types of contracts, Oral contract, written contract, and the basics about how a contract works like it basically being a promise.

What core competencies did I demonstrate today?

I was able to demonstrate working with others as we did the examples in a group, ask and respond to questions while we were working, and disagree respectfully in the event I didn’t like someone’s idea.
