5-Minute Rough Draft

Objective

  • Give students a better understanding of what bakery distribution is.
Procedure

     1. Introduction
    • Ask students if they have every been to a bakery before. If yes, what kind (mom and pop, chain) did they specialize in anything (cupcakes, decorating, chocolate). Ask if they ever see their products anywhere else. Ask what they think bakery distribution is.
     2. My definition of bakery distribution as it relates to my topic.
    • The selling of products to other companies. Larger orders of products being delivered. (to markets/stores)
     3. Where I did my summer service learning.
    • Old Town Baking Co. 
      • A family owned bakery with over 16 years in business. 
    • How it relates to distribution.
      • Distributes their products to markets, sports arenas, convention centers and hotels. Where they get most of their business.
     4. Conclusion
    • Why distribution?
      • It is one thing to just bake something and sell it in your own store, why not take it a step further and distribute that product. I figure there has to be a reason why other companies want to buy your products. I want to learn more about what makes a product good enough to distribute (how would you know) and how you can reach that point.
Check for Understanding

  • Ask students if they can give me a place they have been to or seen that distributes their products, based on the definition I explained.
  • Ask for questions or comments
Resources/Materials
  • Drawing of the distribution process. (?) 
  • Pictures of different independent bakeries and known products that are distributed. (?)
