Food + Nutrition - Individual task.

Authors Avatar
I am currently studying GSCE food and nutrition and I am about to start my individual task, which is worth 30% of my final grade.

This task includes working independently by researching, developing, planning, making and evaluating. I will attempt to do this to the best of my ability.

I have looked at the five main syllabus areas, which are;

• Nutrition and health

• Food choice

• Food preparation and processing

• Deterioration, safety and preservation of food

• Marketing, advertising and consumer education

From these I have now selected three of the areas, which most interest me, these are;

• Nutrition and health

• Food choice

• Marketing, advertising and consumer education

I feel that these will be most useful for me because they are areas, which will provide me with a wide range of information and ideas for a well-detailed investigation. I am now preparing to mind map these three areas.

After studying my three chosen syllabus areas I have decided to investigate food choice and nutrition and health and marketing, advertising and consumer education further.

I have not yet received enough information or completed enough research to write a full task title but I am able to write a possible task title, which could be;

" To investigate the needs of a specific age group, possibly teenage students, who have to manage on a budget"

I may decide to look into the dietary needs of teenagers however I will continue to carry out any initial research with an open mind.

I have devised a research plan to help me focus on my chosen syllabus areas, which are food choice, nutrition and health and marketing and advertising. These will hopefully provide me with relevant information to leave me to develop my task title.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am currently a student at King Edward VII School, Melton Mowbray and I am studying food and nutrition. I am about to start my individual task that will be 30% of my final GCSE grade. I have decided to focus on the nutritional needs of young children. I am interested in finding out more about the dietary needs of young children whose parents have little knowledge of health and nutrition.
