| Examine Technological Practice within an industry example using Cookie Time 25 years on doc. Literacy Strategy This resource could be used: 1. As an activity as outlined within Exploratory work in conjunction with the Gluten Free cookie case study; 2. As an ongoing case study to be referred back to within Market research or Functional Modelling; 3. Instead of the Gluten Free cookie case study as a literacy strategy with less reading content but with useful knowledge to add to student's "toolbox"; 4. As an extension activity only. Suggested key questions to meet learning intentions: • What was the opportunity in the market that the first Cookie Time cookie product addressed? • Testing out things is functional modelling – what advice does Michael Mayell have related to this? • What does Michael Mayell say about the way each cookie is shaped? The Original Chocolate Chip cookie recipe hasn't changed for 25 years! • So what is Cookie Time's success based on? • How did the Cookie Time cookie get manipulated into its shape? • Explain why do you think the Cookie Time Brand is iconic in New Zealand? • What are the techniques used to: – get the size of the cookie? – get the chunky chocolate size? "Cookie Time cookies are still individually hand-crafted like they were in the old days." • What affect will this have on a batch of these cookies? • Why does the company NOT make uniform cookies? • How has the Cookie Time Cookie's fitness for purpose been enhanced by the way the cookie was shaped? • What disadvantages do you think there may be in adopting Cookie Time's approach to shaping and chocolate chip distribution? • What advantages do you think there may be in adopting Cookie Time's approach to shaping and chocolate chip distribution? • Explain what you think we should do in developing our biscuit outcome? |
Principles Learning to learn – introducing knowledge and skills which can be stored as a "toolbox" for future application within student practice and beyond this unit of work. Key Competencies Using language symbols and text (using literacy strategies) – to encourage reading as a means to gain knowledge and skills this with understanding can be used to enhance student practice. Context specific skill/ knowledge • Develop technological knowledge, skills and understandings related to Technological Practice from analysing existing Technological Practice and products. • Develop knowledge and skills in recipe formulation for functional modelling and prototyping related to biscuit making. Food Technology Toolbox • Exposure to real industry production processes in relation to manufacturing a gluten free product • Manipulation of Ingredients – making and shaping biscuits Component/s of Technology Technological products: • Describe examples related to biscuit making to illustrate how a technological product's fitness for purpose can be/was enhanced by the way a material was shaped. Characteristics of Technology • Explain that technological knowledge is evaluated in terms of how effective it is in supporting the cookie outcome to function successfully. |
Cookie Time 25 years on.doc "Cookie Time 25 years on" Question and response sheet To be developed in conjunction with literacy strategies to suit class level and range of student literacy abilities using suggested key questions. |
Assessment Strategies focussing on Learning Links What strategies are most likely to help my students learn? What /how can individual student evidence be presented in relation to research of Technological Practice to demonstrate individual student understanding and participation? Develop understandings of Technological Practice in product development to meet an opportunity in a food context outside the classroom situation. Identify what technological knowledge was used. Explain how that technological knowledge used was effective in supporting the outcome to function successfully.
