considerations?
4. What information should be on a label?

product.

Formative Assessment Task

Collaborative Lunch Box Task
Action Plan:
Your action plan requires you to identify and discuss issues that are related to your task. This
section must be done as a group.
Complete the following:
1. Make a list of all the issues your group needs to consider when designing your lunch box.
Alongside each issues you must write why it is an issue. (Look at the list in the Research
Task- healthiness of the food and drink, what students like, cost, packaging, labelling, food
safety) An example is: Cost needs to be considered because students do not want to pay a
lot of money.
2. Decide which group member does each of the required tasks. How did you decide which
task each member would do?
Include discussion about the practical task and research task for this question.
3. A justification needs to be written which states why what you have chosen is a good idea.
4. An outline of group implementation strategies.
What do you need to do to make it happen? eg. use internet to research packaging and
prices, complete survey, look in cook books, write a time plan for the practical, food order,
design and print labels.
Action Plan must be no more than 400 words
