Home Ec Evaluation

 

Genica and I chose Croque madame as our cultural assessment dish because it relates to the country topic (France) and it is the closest dish to our favourite food, eggs Benedict. The best part of the finished meal is the bechamal sauce as it really adds the most flavour. It has a bit of tangy as well as sweetness, which really contrasted with the way the eggs was cooked. Our group would change the bread because it wasn't thick enough. The bechamal sauce just made the bread moist and soggy. 

During this process, I learned how to make bechamal sauce.

Some changes made was the bacon and bread. Because the bread needs wasn't available here we resorted to grain bread and the bacon usually used is expensive so we used plain ham.

 Persuasive Writing: Research Activity

During class we've been recently learning how to evaluate text by looking at currency, usefulness, credibility. This particular research activity was that we had to conduct a research on our 3 chosen topics. 

Text title, author & link	Text summary In your own words, write what the text was about	Usefulness Was this text useful to you? Why or why not?	Credibility Was this text credible? Why or why not?	Currency Did this text have currency? Why or why not?
1. Pros and cons of the death penalty  Author:Joe Messerli/ Balanced politics	This website contains relevant information about the death penalty and why it should be legal a cross the world. It offers a point on why it should and shouldn't be legal.	Although this text is American based, it offers some information that relates to NZ. It was useful in a way that it offered me several points from both sides. This helped because it helped me figure out what side i'm on	I personally think that this specific website used is indeed credible. It shows who wrote it as well as an area for readers to write in if any material used is inaccurate. As written in the box before it shows both sides.	There is an area which would have showed the last updated time but nothing is written there, therefore it is not currency
2. Gay marriage pros and cons Author: Unknown/ ProCon.org	This website contains a substantial amount of information relating to the topic (Gay Marriage). This text have two sides of the topic: the pros and cons	This website is also American based but it does provide content that relates to issues in NZ. Because this text has information of two sides it helps me understand why an individual support or not support gay marriage.	This website is somewhat credible because it does not show the exact person who wrote the text but it does provide an area for readers to comment their personal opinion whether they support or not. I do not recognise this website at all.	Because it shows when the text was last updated, it shows currency.  Updated at 07/10/19 or 10/07/19
3. Should teachers be allied to carry guns at school Author: Lauren Farrar.	This website contains a substantial amount of information relating to the topic (Armed Teachers). This text have two sides of the topic: the pros and cons. It shows the main arguments on both sides and additionally an introduction as well as sources used	Another American based website that relates to NZ domestic policy issues. Because this text has some information about two sides.	This text is credible because it shows the author of the text but it is a little clear that the author does not support armed teachers as there is more information whereas the cons information is lacking a bit. I do not recognise this website or author.	This text somewhat has currency as it shows when it was written but it does not show when it was last updated. Written: Nov 7 2019

Should woman be allowed to wear a Niqāb or a face veil, to civic ceremonies.

 WTE SENTENCES -- L.O We are learning to express our views on a topical issue.

#5 The Adverb Start -         Unexpectedly, 29% out of 54,679 voters votes no to women wearing a Niqāb                                                 or a  face veil while 71% votes yes. 

#11 The W-Start Sentence - While 29% disagree, I personally believe that woman should be allowed to                                                      wear Niqāb or a face veil to civic ceremonies because they should be able to                                                    be proud of their culture or religion.

#1 The Simple Sentence -    By voting no is basically discrimination against other cultures or religions. 

Steps to budget.

This period, our class was told to pick from either a flowchart or a prezi, I chose a prezi because I know the information needed to be on there 

What went well? It was easy to find the information I needed

What did not went well? At the start I didn't really know how a flowchart works

What could be done differently? I couldve added more information to it

Have you ever made a budgeting plan?

Creating a class treaty - Social studies

In our class there are approximately 20 people engaged in to making a class treaty. 

The class treaty includes a: preamble, first article, second article, third article. Our class have already completed the preamble on the 30th of October. During the making of the preamble a lot of arguments were formed just so that our entire class could agree on a statement that fits for both students and teachers. Because of all the arguments, it started to get a bit heated up. Some students really stayed true to their opinions to the point where they got a bit offended of other opinions in which they did not agree with and so arguments turned into personal insults. Who knew it was so hard to write up a treaty so everyone comes to an agreement.

buy? I

f so, how many days a week 

and what items do you impulse buy?
