Task 8 - Addressing gaps in the unit of competency CULINL501A

Revision of all the elements and the skills and knowledge requirements of CULINL501A.
How much is not covered in your blogs? Write your last blog about what you have covered in and out of class and any gaps which might need addressing ...... and strategies for addressing these gaps.

We have covered many of the performance criteria in this unit in our blogs over the last few months and anything else, we have covered either in class or as an assessment task.

Personally, I think the one area that I fall down in is not knowing much about some genres - fantasy, young adult, children's, etc. And I don't often read the books that are being "hyped" around the media or even prize-winning books.

So it looks like I will have to change my habits and broaden my reading tastes and at least delve into the bestsellers and prize winners.

Expertise in promoting literature and reading will come with experience as we get to actually practise all that we have learned. Knowledge of various genres and trends will be maintained by reading reviews and trade publications. Ideas for displays and promotional activities can be gleaned from blogs and websites.

I think the most important strategy for maintaining knowledge about any aspect of promoting literature and reading is to keep up with reading magazines, reviews, blogs, web pages, and anything which help you to stay up-to-date.
