Hospitality Studies – Celebrity Chef Unit – Assessment task and scaffolding booklet

A copy of the task sheet and scaffolding booklet for the Celebrity Chef unit. It includes a list of celebrity chefs that the students are allowed to choose from (for ease of coordinating prac lessons – only a certain number of recipes can be trailed).

The scaffolding booklet is designed to follow an Inquiry based approach. Students must research the celebrity to learn about their signature dish/dishes, select an appropriate dish (based on the duration of our lessons, cooking budget and other factors), find out about the ingredients, utensils and cooking skills needed (in order to provide a brief explanation in a brochure designed to be given to students in a cooking class). follow this, students must write a justification for why they chose this dish and a brief bio of the chef which includes what they are famous for. There are also instructions for creating their brochure and for reflecting on the prac lesson where they re-create and plate the signature dish.

A template for the brochure with pre-populated headings.

A checklist used to assess students in the practical component of the lesson (the lesson where they cook the signature dish).

Resources designed for use in an 11 Hospitality Practices class in Australia (2019 curriculum). My school has 70-minute lessons. (2 x theory and 1 x prac).
