Finding none, ask Teams to take 1 minute to find out what kind of exterior siding the cabin has. Aha! This is a log cabin! We need to keep this choice of exterior siding in mind as we investigate what kind of exterior finish we might want to recommend to Mr. Plaza.

10 min: Ask pair-shares to read the first paragraph on p. 950, and, considering all the information they already have on types of finishes, write an email to Mr. Plaza recommending a type of exterior finish for his log cabin, the level of quality of the material chosen, and, if appropriate, the color. Be sure to provide multiple reasons for your recommendations.

Week Seven: Day 34 (Thursday)First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 6

Week Seven: Day 34 (Thursday)First and Second Hours (7:30 – 9:30) - 7

20 min: As a Work Team, take 15 minutes to prepare a cost estimate to include in the email to Mr. Plaza. Show the detail of your estimate, using the model on p. 956. (Hint: you may need to divide up the tasks.)

 

Use the last 5 minutes for Work Teams to present their cost estimates and explain their thinking. Discuss areas where problems were encountered, e.g., number of coats.

 

Stretch Break: Everyone stands. You ask Work Team 5 to present their metric rap. They perform. Everyone claps and sits down..

Snack Break (9:30-9:40)

Week Seven: Day 34 (Thursday)Third and Fourth Hours (9:40 – 11:30) - 1

100 min: Students continue at work stations, moving on when they’ve reached at least a basic proficiency level. Students always complete their vocabulary cards for each new station before beginning work on proficiencies. Continue to balance the groups at the work stations so none are too crowded. Monitor carefully; initial proficiencies on your file copy and the student’s copy of the rubric as students demonstrate competency.

Tools and Equipment – Hands-on-exposure

Week Seven: Day 34 (Thursday)Third and Fourth Hours (9:40 – 11:30) - 2

Monitor student proficiency completion, so that you set up project stations as needed. Monitor individual students for time management. Remind students that tomorrow is the last day in shop. 

10 min: Play “Name That…” (See Appendix A for explanation of how to play Name That….) Use Resource 5.26.

Week Seven: Day 34 (Thursday)AFTER HOURS - 1

Homework: As a Work Team, choose the kitchen design you like best and do a cabinet layout similar to the one on p. 785 on a piece of chart paper. Note where the upper and lower cabinets are drawn on the model. Make your own list of cabinet choices and number them appropriately, using W for wall and B for base followed by the width and length (e.g. W-3618 is a wall cabinet that is 36” horizontally and 18” vertically; define any other abbreviations such as pantry, dishwasher, stove, range hood, etc.)  

Week Seven: Day 34 (Thursday)AFTER HOURS - 2

Self-check for quality:

• Base cabinets shown within wall cabinets?

• Appropriate places and markings for sink cabinets, appliances?

• Cabinet and appliance width add up to length of wall?

• Cabinet list included?

• Cabinets appropriately identified with letter (or name) and number? 

• Open Computer Lab
