Chocolate!

Creamy
Handmade
Out of this world
Cocoa
Original
Luxury
Aroma
Treat
Exquisite

Chocolate is a treat that everybody loves to eat, but do you know how chocolate is made? Well I'm going to tell you how chocolate is made.Chocolate is made on trees! Cocoa beans which form the foundation of the chocolate are actually seeds from the fruit of the cacao tree, which grows near the Equator. The seeds grow inside a pod-like fruit and are covered with white pulp.

How is chocolate made? To make chocolate, cocoa farmers crack open the pods, scoop out the seeds, ferment them and dry them.

The beans are shipped to factories, where manufacturers inspect and clean them, then roast and grind them into a paste called chocolate liquor. More pressing, rolling, mixing with sugar and other ingredients, and heating and cooling yields of delicious chocolate.

So this is how chocolate is made! Thanks for reading.

Personal Identity iExperience


Learner: Neha                                                   Date: October 2015
Learning Area: iExperience - Identity                             Learning Coach: John Dyer                 
Learning Observed
A good afternoon of learning in which we discussed what identity is and what it means to each of us. I became involved in a conversation with Nisita and Neeha around our names, their meaning and whether our names impact on our identity. We talked about the meaning behind our name and its significance to our identity. We also discussed elements of our identity that we are born with vs those that are learned as we grow. Neha demonstrated maturity and confidence when sharing her thoughts and opinions. Well Done!
Evidence of learning

Neha and Nisita spoke with confidence about personal identity and what it means to them. What a great way to start the term. You can be very happy with yourselves. Well done.

Next Learning Steps
I would encourage Neha to look more at the meaning of her name, its origin and the names of others. It would be interesting to see if there are any observable links between identity traits and names, and whether people become stereotypes of their names or whether it has nothing to do with it. Let’s see what results in the coming lessons!
