RECOMMENDATION REPORT


TO: Mrs. Worley
FROM: Brandon Edward Griffith
SUBJECT: Recommendation to allow more independent projects in wood-shop

It has come to my attention that the students enrolled in wood shop classes are always pressing the teacher (Ms. Worley) for the possibility of individual creative projects.  The problem is that there is a set construction guide.  I have now been contracted to investigate the benefits of individualism in the curriculum of wood shop taught by Ms. Worley.

 RECOMMENDATION

As requested by many students in the class, students should be able to participate in more independently creative projects.  In doing independently creative projects the student can present their wood shop skills as well as displaying their personal ambitions and creativity.  This seems to produce better work ethic within the wood shop and also brings up the level of working condition by the students.  The reasoning behind all the better work is that it would weed out the students not at all interested in applying the class knowledge to their personal lives and gives students a larger and more personal interest in their desired outcome.

This should be put into effect with a lesson taught one week to teach technique and the following week of lesson would allow the students to apply the technique taught in a personally designed way.  This would be best displayed in the block scheduling periods.  Due to the allotted time on the block days there is more time to focus on working with less rush which results in a safer environment, also allows more time for cleaning and preparation for the woodwork, and lastly allows the instructor time to make way around the class and help more students.
