This unit introduces the concept of welding with scrap metal and relaying a process using imperative forms. Students learn through active listening to a "how to" video, read about the benefits of reusing metal as art, and write out a process.

This unit prepares students for the first of several projects where they apply their new (or renewed) welding vocabulary and language skills.
