Problem

A family is wanting to come up with a weekly meal plan, that will have everyone cooking throughout the week and it works with everyone’s weekly activities. They want to make a plan that involves when dinner will be, what will be cooked, how much to make and who is cooking. 

Solution

Justification

Monday: I choose this recipe because its different yet is capable of meeting everyone’s tastes buds. The overall cook time is one hour, so I decided to choose Teen 1 and 2 to cook. They both get home first and will start cooking it around 4:30 when Parent A gets home. When Parent B gets home dinner will be on the table and ready to go, so they can get to their fitness class on time for 7pm. Also, they will have enough left over for both teens to have one serving for lunch tomorrow. 

Tuesday: I picked this recipe because it works with everybody’s schedule. It’s a recipe that is cooked in 20 minutes. Which means when Parent B gets home at 5:30 they can cook it 10 minutes after they get home with the normal portion size, and it’ll be done by 6:00. Then Parent A can eat it right when they get home, and teen 2 can get to soccer practice by 6:30. 

Wednesday and Thursday: I chose this recipe because there can be leftovers, and it’s is a larger meal. Everyone can eat as a family. On Thursday as the left overs day,  if someone in the family is hungry once they get home they can eat right away since the dish will be pre made for the night before. They would just need to heat it up.  

Friday:  I chose this recipe because, Friday is a day that the dinner can take longer, and this recipe does. Also, parent A and Parent B will get two portions.

Collaboration Reflection

How we shared ideas and information: We had many conversations about what needed to be done, new ideas, and information about what we have done, while working in class. We also had a shared word document to type and put all our work in one places thats accessible to all. Lastly we started an email thread in outlook just in case we needed to commuinicate outside of the classroom.

How we used Technology: The technology was used by all the group members. We used technology to see the word document. We all did one food dish, got the ingredients and recipes from the examples. We added why each of us chose that meal, who cooks the meals and when each meal is eaten in the day. We had a email thread to use in case we needed to connect outside of school, if anyone needed help.  

How tasks were distributed: First, we gave everyone a day, they needed to choose what meal who, was cooking and justify their reasoning, since there was one too many days per people in our group, we took the idea from the day 1 questions of using the use of leftovers for Thursday, and just assigned Thursday to whoever was doing Wednesday. Next, we separated all the additional tasks. Alyssia took on our table/chart, Triniti wrote the problem in her own words (with our opinions and thoughts), Sahana wrote about how technology was used in our project, and I am writing how we distributed tasks. Overall, the whole group was very understanding, and everyone was willing take something on and have an organized and collaborative discussion. 

Tasks I Completed: I was assigned to everything on Monday(including the justification), I also found the new recipe. Alongside I needed to write about how the tasks were distributed.
