WOOD TECHNOLOGY LESSON PLAN

Student Name: Ross Duigan

ID: G00369996

Subject: Wood Technology Topic(s): Disease and defects

Pupil Year Group: 2nd Year No. of Pupils: 16
Lesson Number: 17 Length of lesson: 40 minutes
Date: 13/1/22 Time of Lesson: 14.55

1. PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE AND OSERVATIONS

 Students have a basic understanding of how to explain the difference between

dry rot and wet rot from the teacher’s demonstration
 Students have a basic understanding from observing the recap how certain defects
occur in timber to a very high standard
 Students have a better understanding of how different defects occur in timber from
looking at the real life examples
 Keep reinforcing and repeating to the students to read the question a number of
times before starting the question
 From independently teaching the class, I notice that some students struggled
with understanding how resin pocket occurred in timber

2. LESSON RATIONALE

Brief outline of WHY this content is the basis of the lesson KEY*

Continue introducing students to the disease and defects topic. Explaining using PowerPoint RL
presentation so that the students understand how to name and explain how these defects NL
occur in timber

Recap from the last lesson, by using a YouTube video to show the students how resin
pockets occur in timber. This will show the students the negative and positive of how to use
resin correctly (coffee table etc).

Students answers to the questions being asked using hand up. I will then use the fist of five
method to see how well the students understand how to answer the questions

Demonstrated to the class how to sketch the worked examples from the book on defects in
timber and then allowing the students to sketch after observing the demonstration in their
 own workbook. This will give me a sense of where students need work in at sketching

Recap from the lesson by answering the question within the PowerPoint. This will give me a
better sense of where all the students are at in this topic and what need to be explained
again in the next lessons

7. LESSON REVIEW

STRENGTHS: What went well in this lesson, and why?

What I feel went well is that the students had a better understanding from looking at the
PowerPoint the different between wet rot and dry rot and how it occurs in timber

What I feel went well when doing the recap was that most of the students were able to explain
how resin can be used to achieve for high quality finish with coffee tables

When independently teaching the class, what I feel went well in the lesson was that I presented a
real-life examples of the life cycle of insect, and I feel that most students had a good understanding
of how the life cycle occur correctly

WEAKNESSES: What did not work so well and why?

What I feel did not go well is that the students struggled to understand how fungi attack occurs in
timber. This will need to be explain in more depth next class

Another part of the lesson that I felt did not go well is that the students struggled to understand
from the demonstrates how to achieve high quality sketches of the defects timber from the teacher
explaining it and the students observing the examples in the workbook

SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT: 3-4

Need to work on sketching for the next class to improve the overall grade when in an exam
situation. This will allow me when correcting test to understand what the sketches the students are
represent

Repeating the process, several times to the class will help the students remember the information
better and reinforce the learning. Use real life examples and help the students to remember for the
future and for the up and coming classes
Use more YouTube videos as the students get a variety of example so that the students get a better
understanding of how the disease and defects occur
