1. PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & AND OSERVATIONS

Previous Knowledge: Students have some knowledge of woodworking joints, the tools being used in
the wood technology room, and of the timber being used in the room. Students are completing a CBA
currently on wood science in their environment, so some students have a better knowledge of the
materials we are using based on their research.

Previous Skills: Students have been trained in the used of the hand tools and some machinery in the
room. The students have been trained in the use of marking tools and in the correct method of
marking timber. Students have been trained in health and safety in the room and are aware of how to
manage themselves properly in the wood technology room.

Teacher Observation: Some students in the class are very capable when it comes to the marking out
and tool use while others are not as capable and so students need to have demonstrations to keep
them on track, working safely and efficiently. Students are quite eager to work and appear to enjoy
the making and like to add their own twist to the project. Some students are using the lathes to add
their own twist to the project while others are more content with doing the more basic design.

 about certain tools and the
materials involved in the assigned
project. The teacher will make
reference to the ongoing CBA
through the materials being used in
the project and the methods of
how things are being completed.
9-10 mins The teacher will share the learning
intentions for the lesson with the
students.
LESSON SEQUENCE (MIDDLE)
10-15 mins  The teacher will have
students gather around the
top bench for a
demonstration on the
tenon saw. The teacher will
question students on the
saw and enquire about
previous experience with
the saw. The teacher will
ask students if they would
be willing to demonstrate
the correct use of the
tenon saw. The teacher will
ask questions such as,
‘What stroke does the
tenon saw cut? The push or
the pull stroke?’. This will
lead on to setting the kerf
of the saw and so on. The
teacher will give a proper
demonstration depending
on response from the
students.
15-20 mins  While the students are
gathered at the top, the
teacher will carry out a
demonstration on the use
of the mortice chisels. The
teacher will demonstrate
the correct use of the
chisels and how to
accurately cut out the
mortice in the base of the
project.
 Once the demonstrations
The students will use their MA
knowledge to link the on going CBA
with the mug stand project.
The students will read the learning O
intentions and will give
confirmation that they understand
what the goal of the lesson is for
the day.
 The students will gather
around the top bench for a
demonstration on the MA
tenon saw. The students
will answer questions on
the use of the saw and will
share any knowledge they
have of the tenon saw from
previous experience. The
students will give their CL
explanations of how certain
processes should take place
and the students will
hopefully demonstrate the
correct use of the saw and
peer assess each other. The
students will answer
further questions from the
teacher and the teacher
will carry out a full
demonstration involving
the vice and cutting using
the bench hook.
 The students will observe a
demonstration on the O
chisels and cutting
mortices. The students will MA
answer questions and any
questions the students
have will be answered
during the demonstration.
