This lesson plan is for a 5th year construction studies class of 24 students. The lesson will focus on practicing woodworking joints, as the students will need these skills for future projects and jobs. During the 1 hour lesson, the teacher will introduce themselves and review safety procedures. Students will then work on various woodworking joints, with the teacher circulating to provide help and check their progress. By practicing their joint-making skills, the students will reinforce their learning and develop skills needed for future construction work.

2. LESSON RATIONALE
Brief outline of WHY this content is the basis of the lesson; what are your reasons for KEY* planning the lesson in this way? (1 para or bullets).
These students need more time to practice their woodwork joints as they will have a RL practical day job to do in 6th year and doing this exercise will be a great help to them when it comes to it. They also won’t have this time in 6th year as they will have their projects to do NL next year. These woodwork joints will also be help them with their projects next year if their making a table or chair, etc.…

Q. What went well in this lesson, and why? (1 para)
The demonstration was flawless. All of the students grasped the content. Because the students worked in partners in smaller groups, their comprehension was greatly enhanced. PowerPoint slides and presentations went off without a hitch. I projected my voice well and made sure that everyone could hear me.
Q. What did not go as well as hoped, in this lesson, and why? (1 para) If I had a presentation with examples from real-life circumstances, the students might have looked at the examples and used them as the foundation for their models. Although the images on the wall contained numerous examples, I believe the kids would have benefited much if I had shown some slides instead.
Q. What might I do to improve this lesson, were I to deliver it again? (1para)
If I were to teach this lesson again and make improvements, I would use a slideshow to display examples of various models that students may use as references and the foundation for this approach. Additionally, it would enhance learning and help pupils understand more about the practical day job.
Q. What did I observe today, in general terms, that I need to follow up on, next class? (e.g. student engagement, classroom management issues, poor/unwieldy entrance and exit from the classroom, lighting in the room, visibility of the screen from the back of the room, absenteeism, SEN challenges, H&S, etc.). Bullet points.
