COURSE MISSION:
All students leave the class at the end of the semester as better thinkers, planners, and organizers. Students will learn and practice good job skills: being on time, working hard, being consciences, and team player.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
First Semester in this course you will be exposed to the basics in mechanical and engineering drawing. You will learn how to use the various instruments in drafting. We will apply and help to reinforce geometric principals throughout the 1st quarter. Lettering, multi-view drawings, isometric drawings, and sectional views will be completed using hand drawing equipment. It should be a challenging quarter that will stretch your mind and improve your ability to see objects as they truly exist.
The 2nd. Quarter students will learn how to identify, safety operate and setup the power equipment in well equipped wood shop.
The Second Semester starts with the background from 1st. semester this course will teach the fundamentals of woodworking and materials processing. . The student will gain confidence in measurement and improve real world math skills, specifically the addition and subtraction of fractions. Students will be constructing a small predetermined project. They will have time to construct two or three other small projects depending on Mr. Sapp’s approval, time and the complexity of the project. All materials must be prepaid before starting projects. You may purchase lumber from your own source if you choose.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. To develop problem solving skills to be used throughout life.
2. To explore occupational possibilities in this field.

Note: Grading for this course will be a weighted combination of classroom exercises, lab exercises, projects, daily participation & cleanup, attitude, safety, and tests.
GRADING SYSTEM:
An evaluation sheet will be provided for each project in the Woods II class to clarify the expectations. Students can track grades to see their standing. The project grading scale is as follows:
+100-97….. A+ 89-87%…... B+ 79-77%…... C+ 69-67%…... D+
96-93%…. A 86-83%…... B 76-73%…... C 66-63%…... D 59% .F
92-90%….. A- 82-80%….. B- 72-70%…... C- 62-60%…... D-
Daily Grade:
This industrial technology class will be related to industry as closely as possible. You are the employee; Mr. Sapp is the company manager. Your grade will be determined by how much money you earn in each grading period. Depending on your work and behavior, your pay will range from $0 to $10 per day.
Behavior: Talking, or disrupting class while roll is being taken or while a lesson is being given, or disrupting lab time, will result in a $1-$5 loss of wages. There are certain safety requirements while in the lab area. It is important that proper safety procedures be followed at all times. Failure to obey safety rules will result in a $5-$10 fine and possible permanent removal from the class. You are to be working at all times. If you are not working on an assignment, the company manager may assign you a job.
Attendance: If you cut or leave class early, it will cost you $2-$10 for each offense plus extra time assigned after school and maybe a trip to the principle/counselor. You are expected to take care of personal problems (restroom), (office), (counselor), on your own time. All absences must be cleared with the office. Student’s grade will be docked $10 for every unexcused/unverified absence.
Tardiness: If you are tardy (being late to class without valid excuse, when the bell starts to ring) you are considered tardy and you will loose $2 in wages for the first 2 offenses. On your third tardy (and all ensuing tardies) you will loose $5 in wages. The company manager will assign detention if you receive 3 tardies. Tardiness in excess of 15 minutes is an unverified absence. You will not be admitted to class without a pass from another teacher or the office and the company manager may assign a 15 minute detention or extra cleanup duties after school. Three unexcused tardies will be counted as one absence from class.
Bonus: A bonus will be paid for the following:
$2 :for class journal completed daily.
$0-$10 :for each written assignment turned in on time.
$5-$50 :for outside papers, projects, and extra work.
$1-$50 :for approved individual lab/home work outside of classtime.
$10 :per hour for approved overtime work (making up missed time).
$15 :per hour for pre-approved overtime for student not missing time.
(this pre-made time may be used for makeup, @ $10hr).
Fines: The following is a partial list of behaviors that will result in loss of wages.
-$10-$50 :Inappropriate use of the computers
(unauthorized internet use, e-mail, games, etc.).
-$5-$10 :Failure to cleanup your work area or return tools before the bell.
-$5-$15 :Horseplay, running, and throwing objects in class.
-$5-$10 :Disruptive behavior in class or lab.
-$1-$5 :Use of profanity.
-$1-$25 :Safety infraction.
