Back Room Clean Up TURNED Photo Shoot

OH MY GOSH... my backroom of  the 1200 building looks like a mix between the dollar store, grocery outlet center and a paper recycling plan.  You just have to love the end of the year in a Consumer Family Service department. As the budget dwindles, the temperatures rise and the seniors are battling the mysterious "senioritus", I had to figure out a way to disguise clean up as a multi-tiered lesson. This was the product of a little quick thinking and maniacal giggle. Its called "Anything but the Kitchen Sink Challenge" Challenge will be winners are awarded a 5 course gourmet lunch prepared by me for the team members and 1 guest each. Let the games begin!

First: Put EVERY food product in the back room on the counter like a grocery store.

Second: List the student objective = Students will be able to create a unique creative original recipe that showcases the skills previously learned in class to produce an original recipe. The students will additionally use food stylist techniques to photo the food product be be used to create a food magazine cover. YEP... the kids thought I lost my mind until I showed them last year's beautifully tantalizing Fudge Brownie a La Mode cover from the challenge

NOW the students followed the next steps:

A. Walk around the room "window shopping for available foods"

B. Collaborate with team mates to brainstorm ideas, 

C. Present foundation Ideas to Ms. San Sebastian for approval, redirection or further conversation.

D. Develop final recipe and final approval

E. Shop and gather good for next class.

F. Meanwhile: Plan for food Props or backdrops for photo shoot.

G. Second day.... COOK, CREATE  and Photograph!!! The fun begins tomorrow.

Here are a couple of the outcomes.... I SO EXCITED!!! I snapped the photos with my phone but the originals are awesome!
