Cooking a Burrito from Scratch - Activity


I was at home, feeling hungry during the weekend and my maid told me she was too tired to cook me food so I decided to cook food myself which I rarely ever do as I never know what to make. However, I decided to cook a burrito. (LO1) I felt like it was quite challenging as I had to learn how to chop vegetables correctly, to slice chicken up to cook it, when the food was done cooking and so on... but it has helped me through the fact that now I realize I am capable of cooking food for myself and this will help me a lot when I go to university in 1 year and a half. (LO2) I already knew how to cook a bit because I watch members of my family prepare meals but as a skill for me, it had not been developed until recently due to this activity. (LO3) It was really tiring to be preparing the ingredients to make the food then having to go through the process of cooking it at the same time but I didn't stop because I wanted to be able to cook my own meal all by myself. (LO4) As a strength, I am good at cutting meat and preparing the ingredients but not so much for the cutting vegetables but that is an area of growth for me.

I chose Constantin Stanislavski as I remembered his acting techniques from researching about him during my Igcses. The lamda examiner questioned me about how Stanislavski turned realism to naturalism withn acting and what were his teachings. (LO3) The perseverance part was the hardest as I would struggle to split my time between homework, school work and revision that I usually do during my free periods that would be re...
