4: APPLY & CONNECT

 

In the first three sections of this module, you had the opportunity to read information on food storage and food safety according to the Government of Canada. You took a detailed inventory and snapshot of your current home food storage situation and in the last section you drafted a plan to redesign aspects of your home’s food storage.

It’s time to test our redesign!

  1. Open the materials for this week. This week’s workbook will look like a series of boxes as we are asking you to show us your redesigned food storage areas!

  2. Document the “before”! - take photos or draw diagrams (by hand or digitally) of your current food storage areas. These photos or diagrams should provide a visual that is more or less the same as your inventory from Section 2. Place these photos or drawings/diagrams in the space provided in this week’s workbook.

  3. Use the plan you developed in the workbook from Section 3 and start to move food items where you believe they should reside. If you make a shift to an item’s location that was not outlined on the list, document that change and why, just as you did in the previous section.

  4. Document the “after”! - take photos or draw diagrams (by hand or digitally) of your redesigned food storage areas. These photos or diagrams should provide a visual that shows the changes you have made from the first inventory (Section 2) to the plans to redesign your food storage areas (Section 3). Place these photos or drawings/diagrams in the space provided in this week’s workbook.

  5. How are others finding your redesign based on safe food storage? Identify another member of your household. What do they like about the redesign? What do they not like about the redesign? What would they change about the redesign? In the space provided, describe the feedback that you received when you asked these questions to members of your household.

  6. Complete the single-point rubric found in the lesson materials.
