Webquest proposal vsn 2

Target Learner:

Webquest designed for students enrolled in Food Studies 10 and 30. There are no prerequisites for either of the Foods classes, so this webquest could be used in either class.

Specific reference to the Saskatchewan Education Curriculum guide:

The webquest would be used in Module 2- Kitchen and Food Safety. The link to the Sask Ed guide is http://www.sasklearning.gov.sk.ca/docs/paa/foodst/1_2.html#2

Concept map:

Question for the students:

Why is food safety an important issue? Why are safe kitchen practices important?

What procedures and practices are needed to ensure food and kitchen safety?

Rationale:

This is probably the most important part of the Food Studies area. Improperly cooked food and improper food handling can cause serious illness and even death.

The webquest will involve researching specific websites and finding the information needed to safely set up and maintain a home or commercial kitchen. This information can, and will at some point transfer to real world application, either when the student leaves home to live on their own, or if at some point they work in a commercial food establishment.

Teaching Activities:

Part One:

- Define food safety terms

- Create a chart with the food groups/types of contamination or food born illness/effects from contamination or food borne illness/ prevention of contamination or food born illness

Part Two:

- Create a chart with common kitchen hazards / prevention / first aid treatments

Part Three:

-Take the food safety quiz

- play 2 food safe games given online

Part Four:

-Design a simple kitchen (free hand or with software if available) that meets all of the food and kitchen safety goals.

-Write a short report detailing where foods / equipment/ hazardous good wills be stored (detailing exact locations in with in the fridge/freezer eg: top shelf, middle shelf: bottom shelf) justify your reasoning using the data collected for your charts
