COURSE DESCRIPTION:

FOOD AND NUTRITION II (Food for Life) (.5 credit) This course is designed for students who are interested in understanding the principles of nutrition and food preparation. Attention will be given to the selection and preparation of food and personal health. Food preparation techniques will be integrated throughout the course and related to all sections of study. Emphasis will be on foods to create meals for families.

AREAS OF STUDY:

Kitchen management, safety, and sanitation
Dietary guidelines and food guide pyramid
Health concerns throughout the life cycle
Meal planning/management
Consumerism skills related to food
Meal service
Meal Preparation

ASSIGNMENTS AND LEARNING EXPERIENCES:

A wide variety of labs, projects, computer time, and group interaction will enhance learning in this course. I like to use a variety of teaching methods including some clips from G and PG rated movies that may help emphasize a specific topic. It is the responsibility of the student to find out what needs to be done if he/she was absent. A student who is absent will have one day for each day absent to make up the missing assignment without a penalty. Late work will be accepted up until the day of the unit test and will receive a 50% deduction. I am determined to help each student succeed and enjoy the educational time they spend in the classroom.

SUPPLIES:

Pencil and pen- Daily of course!

Every once in a while if there is a free day lab and the students pick an item to cook that is not available in the lab, they may bring in items of their own by choice.

LAB FEE:
There is a $10.00 lab fee which helps cover the cost of the food used by the student. Any excess lab fees are used for the replacement of broken or old equipment.

GRADING:

93-100%=A 83-86%=B 73-76%=C 63-66%=D
90-92%=A- 80-82%=B- 70-72%=C- 60-62%=D-
87-89%=B+ 77-79%=C+ 67-69%=D+ 0-59 =F

CLASS RULES:

Be Quietly in Your Seat When the Bell Rings: Students will be marked tardy if they are not in the classroom when the bell rings.

If you are tardy, you must sign in on the tardy sheet at the front of the classroom. The attendance policy as set out by the school will be followed

Be Respectful of the Teacher and Other Students: Ridicule of other people will not be tolerated. Rude or foul language is unacceptable.

Respect School Property: Writing on tables, chairs, walls, etc. is unacceptable. This also includes all the kitchen equipment.

Participate in Class Discussions and Activities Appropriately: Each student is expected to be working in class on that day’s assignments and activities. Be involved in what is going on rather than writing notes to friends or working on homework from another class.

Appropriate clothing must be worn during cooking labs. For example no long sleeves, hair pulled back, etc.

No cell phones or I pods in the classroom. If I see them, they are mine. The first time will be a warning and you will get it back at the end of the school day. Anytime after that, a parent or guardian will have to pick it up to get it back. And that is just no fun at all!

REMEDIATION:
I am a teacher, but I am also a human being! When you are having any kind of issues with the class please come and speak with me. I am here for you! It’s my job. As stated before, I need all students to be in class to fully get everything from this course. Late work will be accepted up until the day grades are due and will receive a 50% deduction. If you have missed labs/class time, you need to see me as soon as possible to receive make up work. I am determined to help each student succeed and enjoy the educational time they spend in the classroom. I cannot help however if I don’t realize there is an issue.


Equal Opportunity Act:
The Alpine School District does not unlawfully discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation. All students are considered without regard to race, color national origin, religion, sex (including marital or parental status,) disability or gag. I agree with the statement as outlined by the district and strongly encourage all students who feel they need any accommodations to contact me so I can help everyone succeed.
