Making Jam Drops

 Last Friday my group had our first practical together. The week before I wasn't here so they had already done their first practical. We were making jam drops as part of our Changing culture unit. 

Teamwork aspect

I believe that for our first practical as a group, I think we did a good job. There were some things that we need to improve on such as efficiency, initiative, and getting involved. We were a bit slow at the start but eventually as the lesson continued, we got into the rhythm of things. We did have one member who was hesitant and said they just wanted to do the dishes. We did force her into making the wells in the cookies for the jam to be dropped into. When there were things to do and get for the table, some people in our group would chose to just sit and wait to be told what to do. I think as a first practical we didn't do terribly and we got along well.

Outcome

Staff Feedback:

Because no group had an even amount of cookies to slip, two got donated to give to the staff. Mrs Hindson went around with a tray and gave the out to staff who then sent in reviews. Only two teachers actually sent in reviews but they were mostly positive. They said that they were very good and it was even better that they were fresh out of the oven and still warm. 

Team Feedback:

Pretty much everyone in our team were proud of the outcome and enjoyed the cookies. Some do need to remember their containers but other then that everyone enjoyed them.

Personal Feedback:

I've never had jam drops and the closest thing to them is hamantaschen. For my first time having them I enjoyed them immensely and will probably make them again at home. I throught they were really good and wish there was more jam in them.
