LO3-Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience.
Investigation and Preparation:
As we have spent a half year getting to know the service, getting used to how it works and the routines for brewing various drinks by following our supervisors, we came across the opportunity to finally try things out by ourselves. With new grade 9-10’s coming into the service, there was a perfect opportunity for us grade 11’s to teach the newcomers and get them integrated into our service. As a result, our goal was to be able to lead and help these newcomers become accustomed to the service but also develop our leadership and brewing skills through organizing our own recipes for us and the grade 9-10’s to try. We spent a couple of lessons planning what we might do every session, thinking about what would be best chronological to get the grade 9-10’s more comfortable with brewing and also what might be fun making. The general outline of our plan revolved around our earlier sessions to be easy and well-known drinks that everyone likes, such as like ice-lemon tea. We would then go on to develop into more interesting and complex drinks, such as carbonated drinks which require a new skill to create. Finally, we wanted the students to plan and make their own recipe, making it into a competition so it becomes competitive and so that we could extract the best recipe out of it. We made sure to split the roles evenly amongst us grade 11’s. We would generally have two mainly supervising each session and alternate.
