Student Question

When students email me a question regarding this assessment I am going to share it as I think many of you may have similar questions. Be sure to ask me anything you want to know!

Question: For KEY FACTORS under 'seasonal foods' and 'availability' what are we meant to write?

ANSWER: Remember for factors you need to tell me how it affects you or your final product or how decisions are going to be made

Seasonal Food- You need to choose ingredients that are in season so they are at their peak in quality and flavour. This will help you produce the best product you can helping you to get the best possible mark

Availability- You need to choose foods and ingredients that are readily available. So foods that can easily be found every day in the supermarket. By choosing foods that are readily available it will usually mean that they are of a reasonable price.

Examples of Thesis Statements

Hello!

So after doing alot of discussion with you yesterday on creating your thesis statement I thought I would put 3 examples. DO NOT USE THESE EXACTLY: but you may use them as a starting point and expand on them etc:

1. A healthy breakfast is said to be an important meal of the day because it gives teenagers all the essential nutrients that the body requires and also helps in facing the challenges of the day.

2. Increased energy, a higher metabolism, and decreased hunger pangs are some of the benefits teenagers will experience by eating a healthy and nutritious breakfast.

3. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for teenagers, not just for nutritional benefits, but for mental benefits as well.

Happy thesis statement writing!
