Hi 7F. If Mr Tan approves the idea of BBQ, this proposal will be officially submitted.
Proposal for GEMS Module
Choice of course
The course that 10S7F is proposing for GEMS Module is “Barbecue (BBQ)”.
Course description
The whole session will involve the class in barbequing, as well as class bonding activities. Before the actual BBQ session, the class will be involved in sourcing for the ingredients required, which includes raw food and the accessories (eg skewers, charcoal). We will be split up into different groups who are each in charge of certain items. During the BBQ session, the whole class will take turns cooking and tending to the food, giving everyone ample opportunities to be involved.
Duration of course
1 day (including sourcing for the ingredients)
Reasons for choice of course
BBQ is a feasible activity that can be conducted, given the amount of budget available. Moreover, since BBQ is largely a hands-on activity, it can be assured that everybody will be able to play an active role throughout the session, therefore ensuring the whole class gains the most out of this module. BBQ also offers us the rare opportunity of cooking meals for our classmates, of which will definitely strengthen bonds and build rapport among us.
Apart from this, BBQ requires a range of skills for it to be conducted successfully. They include sourcing for fresh and desirable ingredients, starting a fire using charcoal and maintaining or adjusting the heat to a suitable temperature, cooking raw food until the right state (not overcooked or undercooked) as well as the ability to marinate or prepare the ingredients correctly.
All these skills can be acquired through BBQ in a fun and engaging way. Most importantly, these skills serve to familiarize us with cooking, an art of lifestyle which is useful for us should we need to prepare meals for ourselves. A common scenario would be when we are studying overseas and wish to prepare our own meals.
What we hope to achieve at the end of the course
After the BBQ session, we hope to be equipped with the skills needed to conduct a successful barbecue and in line with the big picture, gain some exposure to cooking.
Apart from skills acquirement, we hope to be more bonded as a class. Having cooked meals for one another, having enjoyed a meal together, 10S7F will inevitably be like one big family.
