OBJECTIVE: Students will be able to access the class website, the Canvas class, complete the initial class survey, and access the class syllabus and contract.
DAILY ROUTINE: Starting today, the daily routine to start each class should look like this:
Go to your locker.
Remove your safety glasses. (YOU WILL BE MARKED TARDY IF YOUR GLASSES ARE STILL IN THE LOCKER WHEN THE BELL RINGS)
Open your Woodworking 2 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 Woodworking 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!
Questions regarding the class and/or class syllabus were answered. Otherwise, the class in general was discussed.
SALES! -- This year, students are encouraged to make things to sell to others. Students will be allowed to keep 50% of the sales price of whatever you sell. However, the 50% that goes to the school MUST cover the cost of materials and supplies as approved by your instructor. If this is something you want to pursue, talke to MR. K. It might be that the 300 point project model isn't the best fit for you. That said, Mr. K does want you engaged in advanced woodworking techniques this year.
Each semester students will be asked to complete one or more outreach activities extending beyond the classroom. For the first semester this will include either submitting something to the school's talent show in the winter, creation of a project for someone else, or participation in activities such as Women of the Woods after-school camps. For the second semester, students will be asked to submit two pieces to the Mid Willamette Valley Woodworking Guild’s annual show in the spring.
All students will eventually have a clean-up assignment and will assist with daily shop cleaning (and receive a daily score) as in years past.
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!
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?
Students continued to work on safety testing.

OBJECTIVE: Students will review safety procedures within the shop.
Students completed the Initial Class Survey.
Students were given a brief introduction to the class.
Students were assigned a pair of safety glasses and a locker to place them within.
Students were taken to the shop and the new drill presses were demonstrated.
Students need to complete all of the safety testing again. Students were allowed to begin this process. In general, it is recommended that students go and watch the video on the CV Safety Page for the piece of equipment, complete the online safety test for that equipment on Canvas, and then complete and submit test corrections as necessary. For full test correction points, responses must be stand-alone -- complete and with context -- and must address the central concept(s) of the question missed.
