Fixing is best

Saw this in a Maker magazine article. Definitely want to incorporate this into shop curriculum. It will be important in the future to have local shops that can fix things. Good design accounts for fixing. And Fixing incorporates a wide variety of skills that can be fostered early in education.
I plan on hanging these posters in my classroom. Now if I can only get a large format printed? Download posters in 6 languages and print your own locally!

Class review

I am taking the final fist without the review sheet to test how much information i learned in class and from the book. This is to assess the quality of the in class instruction as well as my own reading comprehension. I will study and fill out the review sheet after the class is over.

Lesson Plan

Lesson plan- dust collection lesson. intro to the shop, in two days. what-is-it, block of wood. safety intro with wound recognition social/mingle.
1. write objectives.
2. dev instructional strategies and student activities; what will I do, what will they be doing.
3. how will we assess the learning.

Intro to shop: day one, 60 minutes. we will consider injury and talk about basic safety strategies for operating/using tools and handling materials in a wood shop. learn about air quality and dust removal system operation and purpose.
ojectives:

in the intern we will write 32 lesson plans. we can modify ones we have written to make new ones.

Evaluation/Assessment chart

I have a basic understanding of assessments/evaluation concepts after this course. I read the chapter so I could follow along in class, but I thought the discussion was wandering and lacked strong authoritative guidance when candidates would get confused on specific examples.

Class exercise

The child in me was stubbornly avoiding the class discussion in protest of the apparent lack of thought put into this lesson. The class exercise felt similarly so, since all of the examples needed added context, and again, there was a lot of un-authoritative scrambling for the answers on the professors behalf.
