Omelet:

Making and Sharing Reflection

In order to make this Omelet, there were many different steps that I had to go through to get to the final product. Firstly, I had to read my recipe and go over the different steps and method, and then I watched Ms. Bolli demo the recipe, so I would know what to do for the next day when I make the lab. The day after, I came into class and completed that six things that you have to do before you start a lab. These six things are, phone away, hair tied back, sleeves pulled up, recipe out of duotang, apron on, and then you wash your hands and start reading your recipe. When starting this recipe, you have to do your Mise en Place, which means getting all your equipment out, and then going up to the demo table to get your ingredients. The needed equipment for this recipe are two custard cups, a grater, a knife, a frying pan, a spatula or plastic flipper, a fork, a plate with cutlery, a cutting board and a lid. Once your mise en place is completed, you can continue the steps of your recipe, cleaning up as you go. When I finished making this Omelet, I enjoyed this by myself because this was an individual lab, meaning that everyone made their own Omelet. After enjoying this Omelet, I completed my reflection about it on my food folio, sharing my feedback with Ms. Bolli. From making this recipe, I can show that I can work independently, but also collaborate with my partner because we had to take turns sharing the kitchen.

Core Competency Reflection

Communication Prompt: As an active listener, I notice that I can communicate better with others, and understand my own task better if I listen to what others are saying.

Collaboration Prompt: One of the ways I insure my group is clear on the common purpose is to check in regularly, and make sure they understand what to do. For an example, when filling out the recipe page, I make sure they have all the correct answers so they know what to do when making the recipe.

Goal: One goal that I have that I have for myself moving forward is to make sure I am collaborating and working well with my group members, and making sure that we put all our effort into the lab.

One goal that I have for myself moving forward is to make sure I am collaborating well with my group, and making sure that we can all put the same amount of effort into the labs we do, while still making sure that we come to an agreement on things without arguing.

When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I… can make sure that everyone is included and that we work collaboratively with each other, putting our differences aside. I am working on this goal because when I get put with somebody in the group that I do not know, it becomes awkward, and I think we could be better as a group if we work collaboratively. Sometimes it is challenging to work with others you have never met before, who have come from a different school or different country, and can be a completely different grade level. However, I can achieve this goal by making sure everyone knows each others name, and that we make sure everyone is on task, and doing their own job that benefits the group as a whole.
