I barely get off task right now.  LA & SS --> I am not able to complete this goal yet since we don't have a test for the vocabulary yet.  Electives --> I have completed this goal. I went back to check my engagement grade and it turned to M instead of P.

 We cooked our first main dish, pasta. The pasta sauce is made from tomatoes, onion, and garlic.  First, we have to add about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, then fry onion and garlic together. After the onion is turning a bit transparent then add the tomatoes. Also, add some salt, sugar, basil sweet, and parsley leaf so that the sauce won't taste bland. As a result in my group, the sauce came out really well. It's well seasoned and full of flavors from salt, sugar, basil sweet, and parsley leaf. Our group technique is to add a lot of basil sweet and parsley leaf. We found out that it gives the sauce very unique flavors so we add them a lot. Our friends turn out to like our pasta very much too.

The enlightenment was a time period after the Renaissance that focuses on humanism, reasons, and individualism during the 17th-19th century. The era was created by humanism in the Renaissance when people starts to fly away from supernatural beliefs. Another root of the period is the Protestant Reformation when people begin to question the teachings of the church, making both church and the government. Lastly, the scientific revolution that proved the church's teachings wrong with new discoveries.

1. What did YOU do well? I was able to cook the bread till it's fully cooked well enough. 2. What could YOU do better? While dumping the bread in the egg mixture, I broke the bread in half. I could hold the bread more softly so it wouldn't break. 3. What did your group do well? We divided up the work for each individual member of the group very well. 4. What could your group better? We could clean our station better during the process of cooking because we always clean our station after we finished everything. 5. If you were given a chance to re-make your french toast what would you want to do differently? I would like to make the egg that was mixed with other ingredients sweeter by adding more sugar because our toast came out a bit tasteless. If we make it sweeter, I believe our toast will taste better.  6. What was the texture like of your french toast? Is there anything you would want to change about the texture? Our french toast was soggy from absorbing th...

In culinary art class, we started off by learning how to make an omelette and scrambled eggs with vegetables. In culinary art class, we were divided into groups. My group includes Pat and Tanyong. The first time, our egg was yummy, but it's not fully cooked and we added too many vegetables that took away the egg taste. The second time, we can only choose three vegetables to cook with the egg. Our group chose mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes with cheese. First, we chopped vegetables and then cook them in orders, due to how long it would take to be cooked. We fry onions first, then mushrooms, and tomatoes. We seasoned our egg by adding a little bit of salt, pepper, and soy sauce. And because there are vegetables left, my group decided to make a special serving by frying them together with soy sauce. Overall, we did great but our omelette was not fully cooked which means it's a little bit watery. But the taste and its visual is great. We were complimented by the chefs a.k...

I did a presentation about William Harvey. For my project, I decided to make a poster. I was taught not put that many words on a presentation, so I drew his name really big with three big pictures. Some of my classmates, they used permanent markers to draw and write, while I print, cut and stick it on the board. I wanted to print/draw then stick is because I think we can reuse the board. I can pull off the pictures and letters then use the board again for another project. Also, I want to help decreasing global warming too. I believe this is one way I could help by reusing the boards. Additionally, I guess my poster is beautiful. I was very proud because my poster turned out to be pretty and also because I am helping to decrease global warming. 

From the mind map, I learned that there were many causes of the Protestant Reformation. The causes were because of King Henry VIII wants to divorce his wife but the pope said he can't. He doesn't agree with the pope so he decided to split up with the church and took control over England's church. Another cause is the 95 thesis from Martin Luther. Next, people learned how to read and the bible in latin was translated. Then make several copies for everyone. On the other hand, there are also other effects that followed. Europe was divided in half and wars.
