Problem

The purpose of this meal planning assignment is to design a reasonable meal plan for an average week for a family.   

Solution

	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Recipe	Easy Chickpea Curry	Vegetable pad thai	Chicken noodle soup	Grilled Cheese Sandwiches	Homemade Chicken Pot Pie
Portion of Recipe	Full Recipe (4 servings)	Full recipe for 4	Whole recipe for 4	Doubled so it can feed 4.	Whole Recipe for 6
Cook	Teen 2	Teen 1 and PARENT a	Adult a and b	Teen 1 and 2	Parent B
Dinner Time	6pm	6:15pm	6:30pm	6pm	6:30pm

Justification: 

Monday:  

Easy Chickpea Curry 

Easy Chickpea Curry will be made by Teen 2 because Teen 2 has a low difficulty level, and they have the most time to cook on Monday. 

Tuesday:  

Vegetable Pad Thai will be made by teen 1 and parent a because they have more time that day. 

Wednesday:  

Chicken noodle soup will be cooked by both teens since they have all the time In the world on Wednesday and parent a and b will eat it. Difficulty is medium 

Thursday: Grilled Cheese Sandwiches 

Made by both Teen 1 and 2 as Teen 2 can only cook low difficulty meals, and they both have the most time to cook. I picked 6pm-6:30 for the eating time as it was a good time when everyone was free to eat dinner. 

Friday: Homemade Chicken Pot Pie 

Chicken Pot Pie will be made by Parent B as they can cook higher difficulty meals and have enough time to cook. This recipe will also leave them with leftovers to eat for lunch the next day.

Collaboration reflection

One way my group shared info with each other was discussing what days each of us had to do, for example i did wednsday and kai did tuesday and luca did thursday and friday and ayo did monday.

a way we used technology was me and my group shared word documents, wi also looked on the internet.

the way tasks were disturbed in my group was we all chose what days we wanted to do and agreed to it.

the tasks i did were telling how each teen did their own cooking times, and i added a picture.

Self assessment: collaboration and critical thinking

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to discuss why the disagreement is there, and resolve the issue.

I show others that I truly value their contributions by… praising how good of a job they did, and asking for help from them

I can describe how … (this thing I learned at school) relates to this experience I had where… i had to cook one time like how did the teens did.

I remain open minded as I explore viable options or alternative approaches, like when I… have to chose what meal the teens were gonna cook at what time.
