mixing it up
Today I taught a lesson by breaking down the techniques using the technical techniques of each item and putting it together DIFFERENTLY,I still had each component of the dishes I prepared just not biult the same.I stayed true to the preparation technique,This showed the students how to take a classic and put a twist on it staying true to the classic technique,The students loved it and payed more attention to it.I beleive because it showed them how to take what they learned and use it in real life.!!!
Hi Scott- Thanks for your post to the forum. From your post I am guessing that you are a culinary Instructor. What you are doing is asking your students to move from memorization of a recipe to a higher order of thinking by applying the comcepts they have learned about those ingedients to create something new - a synthesis! Great work! Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
