How to Make A Sandwich |
Description
You’re about to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! Although you probably feel pretty confident about how to do this, the purpose of this activity is to raise your awareness of how this experience alone will teach you new things. Because you have probably already made many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, we ask that you choose one ingredient you’ve never used in a PB&J before. This will ensure that you learn from a new experience.
Instructions
As you make your sandwich, we’d like you to keep track of how you complete
the task. Write step-by-step instructions that detail your procedure for
the best way to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Exploration
As you do this activity, think about the following:
- How do Dewey & Kolb’s experiential learning models apply as you undergo the experiential learning process?
- How have your experiences growing up influenced what you know to be the best way to make the sandwich?
- What were your expectations regarding this activity when you started? Did you think working with all kinds of peanut butter, jelly, or bread would be the same?
- What did you learn about making a PB&J with unfamiliar materials?
- How much of your prior knowledge was based on facts? Did you find that using unfamiliar materials revealed that you knew less about making the sandwich than you thought you did?
- Applying what you learned today, what (if anything) will you do differently the next time you make a PB&J?
