Poetry

Funeral Blues:

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,

Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message 'He is Dead'.
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; - Hyperbole and alliteration.
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. -Emotive language
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good. 

-Everything rhymes. 

My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; - Hyperbole and alliteration.
This was effective because it shows that, that person was important to the author.
The author claimed him as his noon, midnight, talk, and song.
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong. -Emotive language. This was effective because it shows us what the author felt and I think other people can relate to this as well.

Chop Suey

During yesterday's practical, we ensured that we limited the chance of contamination by:
-Using separate chopping boards
We used the green chopping board for the vegetables and used the red chopping board for the raw meat. We did this so that the juices from the raw meat will not contaminate the vegetables and vice versa. This ensured that the bacteria that comes from the raw meat will not go onto the vegetables, contaminating it on the way.
-Using tongs
We used tongs to pick up the beef from the trolley. We did this so that we will not be contaminating the beef, with germs that may come from our hands. This ensured that we will not contaminate the beef by using our hands.
-Washing vegetables
Before using the spring onion, we washed it properly with water. We did this so that we would get the dirt off the spring onion so that it wouldn't contaminate the rest of the food. This ensured that our food will not get contaminated by the dirt or germs that came with the spring onion.

Vegtables & Ham Wrap

Explain the high-risk good that was used and how you handled it to keep it safe

Ham - We handled the ham by using tongs when getting it and making sure that we put it on the brown chopping board instead of the red one.
Vegetables - We handled the vegetables by washing it properly and cutting it up on the green chopping board

Explain the health & safety procedures you put in place prior, during & after. Give 2 examples for each

During:
During the practical, we used the correct chopping boards when cutting up ingredients. For example, we used to the green chopping board when cutting up the vegetables and used the brown chopping boards when cutting up the cooked meat.

By doing this strategy we are making sure that we don't cross-contaminate any of our ingredients. We know our food is safe because we have not mixed up the meat and vegetables, therefore the bacteria that may come with the meat and vegetables are not getting mixed up.

After:
After the practical, we made sure to wash all the dishes we used properly, even the chopping boards. 

By doing this strategy we are making sure that the next people who use the dishes will not get any bacteria on their food. We know this is safe because the next people using the dishes will not cross-contaminate the food they're cooking as the dishes they're using are clean.
