I tried something different last year for my HFN2O exam, and thought I would share it.
The Skill expectations in HFN2O can be summed up into the following: kitchen safety skills, food safety skills, kitchen literacy and numeracy skills and food preparation skills. Â I started their “exam” very early in the semester, by encouraging them to take videos of themselves demonstrating the aforementioned skills, either at home or in the school lab. Â The students uploaded their videos onto their Youtube channels (which they get as each student has a google account). Â As such, the result was an e-portfolio of their best work. Â At the end of the semester, students can select their best videos for assessment. Â I created some of my own videos to model for the students, please see the following link for my Youtube channel: Â https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkr8JkWWfP9JGOWimkZABrg
The actual assignment I provide for my students as well as the rubric is available for OFSHEEA members only here, HFN2O Final Exam Ellwood.
