CARPENTRY 1 & CARPENTRY 2 :
DAILY JOURNAL: No daily journal was needed today.
Mr K. introduced a unit on house wiring. The unit will end with students wiring receptacles, switches, and lights. Before house wiring, electricity (and its dangers) can be fully learned, some background information is needed. So the bulk of today was spent learning about electrical charge and the fundamental forces that govern how charge works.
Van de Graaff demonstrations, although originally scheduled for today, had to be postponed until the Van de Graaff generator can be repaired. Parts are ordered!

A participation score has been added to Canvas. Basically students get 5 points each day they are here (only full period days were counted, and there will be 20 of them this semester). For each day missed, 5 points are deducted. The student is welcome to come in outside of class and make up time missed if they choose to in order to recover lost points. However, students must come knowing what they will be working on (Mr. K may not be available to direct their work). Also, going forward, deductions will occur when students are observed wasting time or not actively involved in the construction process. Refer to the employability skills.

Briefly list what you did today on the tiny home. Be specific, but it can be brief (i.e. hung three joist hangers, helped install two pieces of internal sheathing, etc...). "Installed joist hangers" is not specific enough. How many?
Two specific things you learned that you did not know before. To be able to do this, actively think about what you are going to write about in your journal as you work during the period.

Mr. K is concerned that students are not doing enough in their journals to show what they actually understand about working on the tiny home. If you cannot or will not describe what you have done with enough specifics, it will be difficult to convince anyone you actually know what you claim. Think about it as providing evidence of your learning.
As a class, students watched this How to Lay Subfloor video. Students are to imagine performing the task that is being demonstrated.
Students then went to Canvas and on the Providing Evidence Assignment for today, students provided an entry that they might use in their journal that shows understanding of the process performed and would convince someone that they actually did the task.

ALL: Shop cleaning each day is being adjusted. We are returning to individual assignments rather than using the team approach. When it is time to clean-up each day, you are to thoroughly clean your assigned area and/or equipment. Brush off the equipment or table first, and use a hand broom to get around the edge of the equipment before sweeping with a floor broom. When finished with your area, find something else in the shop that needs to be cleaned and continue cleaning until Mr. K says it is okay to return to the classroom.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Staring tomorrow, we will start physically working on the tiny home. We will be building it outside under the covered area behind the shop. While we won't be working in the rain, it is sometimes cold. Please be prepared with clothing that will keep you warm. The school has some gloves, but you are encouraged to bring your own pair.
CARPENTRY 1:
DAILY JOURNAL: There was no daily journal today.
Roughly each semester there will be two 100-point scores placed in the gradebook. One will be associated with safety and will work in a fashion similar to that of the safety score described earlier in the year. The other will be associated with Employability Skills. Scores will be determined using this Carpentry 1 1st Semester Proficiency List. Two hardcopies of these lists were given to every student in class today. One was for their own use and tracking. On the other, students neatly printed their name on the upper righthand corner of the Employability Skills side of the sheet, and then returned it to the instructor.
As Mr. K observes the indicated behavior during class, he will mark it down on the student's sheet. Periodically, students will be allowed to look at the copy of the sheet retained by Mr. K to be made aware of their progress and any deductions that have been incurred.
These proficiency lists serve four purposes:
They force Mr. K to focus on student safe behavior and reinforce soft skills necessary throughout life.
They encourage students and instructor alike to think about (and therefore have increase focus on) these skills and proficiencies explicitly.
They will potentially remove emphasis on the completion of large projects each semester. The student who works slower who otherwise has good scores on both proficiency lists will not be penalized at the end of the semester for failing to complete the final large project(s). In the past, incomplete projects at the end of the semester always significantly impacted a student's final grade. Now, so long as a student practices a high level of the listed employability skills, project completion is less crucial. There is no need to speed through a project, doing lower quality work, resulting in a lower quality product, just to preserve a good grade in the class. At the same time, students failing to show progress toward the listed employability skills (failing to use their time well, be cooperative, not trying, etc...) will still be held accountable for completing all projects.
They will help ensure all students learn all the skills associated with building tiny homes.
Following this, the Drawings and Tiny Home Assignment answers were discussed and reviewed.

SHOP CLEAN-UP: Starting today, students have been assigned specific clean-up areas. Each area of a shop has a designated student leader. The leader ensures their assigned area of the shop gets cleaned completely. During clean-up at the end of each period, students are expected to first complete their tasks as soon as possible (floor brooms cannot sweep before hand brooms are finished brushing off equipment and tables). When finished with their own task, students are to assist someone else. Everyone stays working the entire time until Mr. K indicates clean-up is finished at the end of the period. Students receive points each day based on whether they stayed busy the entire time during clean-up. Leaders receive points if there assigned area is thoroughly cleaned. Leaders should clean, but they also must make sure everything in their area gets cleaned as well before the end of the period. Leaders will be rotated. Everyone will serve as a leader at some point.

DAILY JOURNAL: What happens to your safety score if you are found with your phone on your person during class (breaking the class safety rule that all PED's should be put away at all times).
SAFETY SCORE: Students will receive a safety score approximately once a quarter. Students begin with a full score. While working in the shop over the course of the quarter, points are deducted from this score each time the student is observed using a machine improperly or otherwise not complying with safety rules and procedures. Score deductions depend upon the severity of the infraction. Minor errors will not incur a deduction. So . . . best practice this year when you are out in the shop? When in doubt about something, ASK!
Discussion was completed for the band saws and scroll saws. safety testing (and test corrections as needed) were completed.

CARPENTRY 1:
DAILY ROUTINE: Starting today, the daily routine to start each class should look like this:
Go to your locker.
Remove your safety glasses.
Place your phone and ear buds into your locker.
Open your Carpentry Daily Journal document and add a heading with today's date below previous entries.
Navigate to this web page. Under DAILY JOURNAL, complete what is requested of you, adding it to your single document that is your Carpentry Daily Journal.
When finished, submit your revised document to the Canvas assignment (yes, you resubmit each day of class).
Eventually at this point you can then proceed to the shop to work on projects unless Mr. K indicates otherwise.
You will keep adding to your journal each day. Doing this will allow Mr. K to get the class started and take attendance while you are learning/reviewing/completing something that is needed.
If you are absent from class, you must still complete your daily journal.
Journal grading will be unannounced -- meaning, grading will occur on whatever is (or isn't) submitted to Canvas. Why? Because journals should be maintained and kept up-to-date. Missing entries will receive a zero for that journal assessment.
Journal entries MUST be correct when there are correct responses to be made. Therefore, do what it takes to make sure you know what correct responses should be. At other times, entries will be graded on the quality of responses. The journal is your instructor's way of ensuring that everyone knows and understands key pieces of information. If you are ever unsure, ask for help!
DAILY JOURNAL: Students were directed to open up a blank Google Doc, and then save it as their Woodworking Daily Journal. For today's entry, answer the following questions regarding the course syllabus:
How much is an assignment penalized if turned in late?
What must you do to request an extension on an assignment?
If you wish to replace a score on something, what must you do?
To be considered for rounding of your final grade at the end of the semester, what must be true?
While out in the shop, students reviewed the General Safety Guidelines on the safety website and then completed the General Shop Safety Test on Canvas.
THERE ARE OTHER SAFETY TESTS IN CANVAS. WARNING: YOU WILL KEEP THE SCORE YOU EARN THE FIRST TIME YOU TAKE EACH TEST. IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU WAIT FOR CLASS INSTRUCTION BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE TESTS. THEY ARE AVAILABLE BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME ADVANCED STUDENTS IN THE CLASS WHO NEED ACCESS TO THEM.
Time permitting, discussion was started on the first pieces of shop equipment to be used in the class.
CARPENTRY 2 (and students who have been in two or more shop classes):
DAILY ROUTINE:
Go to your locker.
Remove your safety glasses.
Place your phone and ear buds into your locker. This year there are absolutely no phones or earbuds allowed during class. Your learning will be greatest if you are present in the Now while in class rather than thinking about what might be occurring on your phone. The locker is the best place for phones and PED's. If Mr. K sees them, even in a pocket on your person during class but not out, school policy requires him to take the phone for the rest of the day.
At the moment, you DO NOT have a daily journal. Nevertheless, navigate to this web page each day. Check for any announcements. Occasionally, there may be something you will be prompted to do. If so, complete what is requested of you.
Resume work on your projects.
SAFETY TESTING: While you have used the equipment before, you still must complete safety testing. Mr. K wishes this to be as efficient as possible while still being effective in refreshing you on safety procedures. For you, safety testing will be completed largely in an autonomous mode. The basic procedure will look like this:
Student may participate in the classroom demonstration and discussion of the safety associated with a piece of equipment as it takes place. The student watches / reviews the provided video and/or reads the printed guidelines provided on the CV Safety Website for the equipment in question. In some cases you may be so familiar with a piece of equipment that you can move right to the test. However, your instructor requests that you review if you feel the need. The score you receive on each safety test will be the score entered into the gradebook
The student will complete the online safety test in Canvas.
After the test is submitted on Canvas, students must complete test corrections, providing stand-alone statements that indicate the key concepts for any question improperly answered on the test. A hardcopy of these safety test corrections must be turned into the turn-in basket in the room.
Videos and printed resources (but no other student or individual) can be used by the student to complete the online tests.
SAFETY SCORE: Students will receive a safety score approximately once a quarter. Students begin with a full score. While working in the shop over the course of the quarter, points are deducted from this score each time the student is observed using a machine improperly or otherwise not complying with safety rules and procedures. Score deductions depend upon the severity of the infraction. Minor errors will not incur a deduction. So . . . best practice this year when you are out in the shop?
