New GEMS Proposal (Most probably to be submitted)

Proposal for GEMS Module
CT Group: 10S7F

Choice of course
The course that 10S7F is proposing for GEMS Module is “Dumpling making”.

Course description
This dumpling making session will be conducted by one of our classmate’s (Ke Yu He) parents who are experts in dumpling making. All 27 of us (including civics tutor) will be involved in making our own share of dumplings. At the end of the session, we will consume the dumplings for lunch.

Duration of course
1 day
Reasons for choice of course

Although feasting on dumplings is probably familiar to most of us, dumpling making is definitely foreign to all of us. Hence, it will be interesting for the class to learn the techniques of making tasty dumplings, such that we will be able to contribute our skills in future should there be any party/potluck. Since dumpling making is simple and easy to master, everyone should not have difficulties learning how to do so. As such, this choice of activity is in line with the interest of the whole class.
The reason why we decided to learn dumpling making from our classmate’s parents is that no course fee is required, except for the ingredients. Thus, the budget available can be spent wisely. Furthermore, no booking of venue is required, since it will be conducted at Yu He’s house. Therefore, dumpling making activity can be carried out without much difficulties.

What we hope to achieve at the end of the course

After the dumpling making course, we hope to be equipped with a new skill of learning how to prepare our very own dumplings. Needless to say, through the process of learning this skill together as a class, we definitely hope to be able to forge even closer bonds between each and everyone of us.
