Assessment Plan

Instruct the students to fill out the study guide throughout the lecture today. Encourage discussion and answer any questions the students may have throughout the lesson. At the end of class, have the students keep their study guides to prepare for the upcoming test.

There will be two homework assignments given today.

1. Hand out the FAMILY FOOD PROFILE packet to the students. Read through and explain how to complete the assignment. Stress to the students that they are not to cook for this assignment. They just need to complete the packet and turn it in for a grade.
2. Hand out the HOME COOKING ASSIGNMENT #2 worksheet to the students. They are to plan, prepare, evaluate and serve an aesthetically pleasing meal for their family. Remind them to take a picture of their completed meal and turn that in with their worksheet.
