Presentation Reflection

1.  In what way did the first interview affect your presentation?  Please explain, be specific and use an example.

Honestly, my first interview had nothing to do with my presentation. My first choice as a topic was to show the difference between a chef and a pastry chef. But I figured that a lot of people know the distinctions of the two but not a lot know the difference of a baker and a pastry chef.

2.  What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?

I think I did a good job on pointing out my visual. It was large enough for people to see and it really helped my presentation. My presentation overall was a little scattered and hurried. 

3.  What was the most challenging to do and why?

Being the timid, nervous girl I am, speaking in front if the class is already a challenge for me but having a time limit and keeping it within 5 minutes was quite hard.  

Senior Project Presentation (Rough Draft)

Objective: I want my audience to know the difference between a pastry chef and a baker.

Procedure:
1. I will ask the class if there even is a difference between a baker and a pastry chef while showing them my visuals.
2. I will show them the visual of a baker's product and then the pastry chef's product.
3. Explain what the baker does.
4. Explain what a pastry chef does.
5. Conclude.

Check for Understanding:
By showing them the visuals, I will ask the distinctions between the two.

Interview Check

Who are you interviewing and why? What additional questions will you ask them (in addition to the 5 we require)


I am going to have Chef Samantha Cassidy for my first interview. She is the pastry chef at the Culinary Arts Institute where I am taking ROP classes. I'm taking her baking class and her cake decoration for next semester. I want to interview Chef Sam because she is an expertise when it comes to pastries and becoming a pastry chef rather than interviewing the other chefs. I plan to ask her if she had a job as a pastry chef before she became a teacher at CAI, what challenges she had to take on in the course of studying and becoming a pastry chef, and when and how she realized she wants to become a pastry chef.

Senior Project Topic

What is your topic?  Why? And what do you hope to accomplish after studying this topic all year?  


My senior topic is "Pastry Chef". Baking runs in my family but I love it the most. I love putting my hard work into baking and designing a cake and giving it to my relatives when i visit them. I also love making other desserts, especially Filipino desserts, and that's how I got to be the one who makes the dessert every holiday. Becoming a Pastry Chef is a career option for me but it's definitely a field that is hard to get in to but it's definitely something I want to explore. By studying this topic all year, I hope to have a firm answer of, if I really would like to go down this path and go on to college becoming a Pastry Chef or just doing it sometime in the future.
