This is the "alternative" poroject my child was assigned instead of being able to participate in the cooking portion of Home & Careers (A NYS mandated course):

Helping Others Understand Dietary Restrictions

Whether it's a result of lifestyle choices or health concerns, many people face some type of dietary restrictions, and while the people who face them deal with them every day and thus learn how to manage, they may seem overwhelming or unreasonable to others.

Your assignment is to create two informational sources that can be shared with others to help them understand, appreciate and respect the needs of your dietary restrictions. One source should be designed for your peers - people your own age (friends, classmates, group members, etc.). The second should be designed for people in the restaurant industry, including cooks, wait staff, managers, etc.

Your final products will be hi the medium(s) of your choice. They could be posters, brochures, pamphlets, Power Point presentations, videos, booklets, etc.

Each product must:

• Capture the attention of the desired audience (be interesting!)
• Keep the attention of the desired audience (don't be too lengthy)
• Be user-friendly (remember this is intended for people who aren't used to dealing with these issues, so we want to make it easy for them to understand and follow)
• Explain the problem and dietary changes needed to meet your needs
• Explain the seriousness of the consequences if proper food preparations aren't followed(For example, if they just scrape an allergen-containing topping off the food instead of preparing the food without the topping)
