    Think-Pair- Share  

    This activity pairs students together to read supplemental material and answer Quiz questions. Both students share equally the work and the grade. 

    Teacher Note: Before starting the assignment remind the students that the success of any food service operation is always a team effort and not an individual one. We need to work together. So for this next assignment I’ll be teaming you together to share the work load and the grade.

    As the teacher you will need to pair students. However you want to match them, is up to you. Students can count off 1,2,3,4 and you can put all 1’s and fours together as an example.

     Once the students have been assigned a partner have them come and get the Sandwich Tips and Techniques, reading material and the quiz. Make sure each student writes their name on the quiz.

    Tell the students they have thirty minutes to complete the assignment and to be ready to discuss their answers with the class.

    When time is called have the students bring you their paper. Redistribute the papers to different pairs and begin calling on various groups to share what was written by that pair. After they read what was written ask them if they agree with the answer. If they agree ask them if they would add anything else. If they don’t agree ask them how they answered the question.

    Teacher Note: It’s important for you to move around the room to check for understanding and to ensure both partners are contributing. Your grading should be based not only on correct answers but cooperative partnership as well.

Demonstrations,

This is a practical demonstration by students on sandwich preparation and Student/Teacher evaluation.  While this assignment works best in muliple kitchens, such as Home Economiic classrooms, it is eaily modified to work in large single kitchen as well.

The students can work individually; in pairs, or in teams of four.  Each student grouping will make one of the three sandwiches included in the lesson.  These consist of a multi-decker Club Sandwich a Chichen Salad Sandwich, or a Submarine sandwich.  You can have the group make one sandwich for each of the members or just one sandwich to represent the group.

After the kitchen student groupings have been assigned give each group one copy of the particiular Job Sheet they will be preparing.  In example Job Sheet #1 is for Chicken Salad sanwich.  Have students collect all utensils, and food products needed to prepare the sandwich.  Some prep work will need to be done such as chop celery and dice onions.  When the students are ready to make the sandwich they should ask you to observe and rate their performance on the Job Sheet.
