Home Economics | Jam Drops | Week Three

                                    - Teamwork Aspects -

Tasks

Our tasks weren't exactly given out, more aligned as we each volunteered to take care of different tasks we needed to progress with the recipe. For example, one of my teammates took up gathering and measuring almost immediately, which named them the ingredient gatherer for the session.

Skills

We didn't exactly deliberate what skills each of us had, more so it was the case again of volunteering and learning of where we each had our set of skills lie within a cooking environment. For example, one of the teammates took up mixing the ingredients straight away, this led us to unknowingly naming them the mixer for that session.

Improvements

Some improvements we could make is properly assigning tasks and learning of each other's skills before deliberating jobs to people without the skills to complete the task. 

 - Product Outcome - 

Feedback

Nobody but our group were able to sample the food so we didn't get much feedback on that part, however, throughout the period our teacher told us multiple times how we could improve how we completed the recipe and what we were doing well. For example, she told us about how we could stop the egg curdling by adding some of the flour prematurely. 

Modifications

The only modification I would have made to the way we cooked our jam drops is how much jam was within the biscuits, I would have added more into it, however, we were pressed for time and didn't take it into consideration much.

- Next Steps - 

The next steps for my group would likely be deliberation between us, especially before the recipe's completion as to what skills we each have and which jobs we will each take. I believe this would greatly assist our ability to work together as a team.
