First Exposure The junior high industrial arts class is usually the students first exposure to the elements of the work a day world, said Junior High Industrial Arts teacher, Mr. David Irvine. Many people don't understand the reason we have industrial arts. The class develops an understanding of industry and provides occupational awareness. The class alternated between their notebooks which dealt with industry, and their shop projects. They learned how to run various power tools such as the radial arm saw, the planer, and the electric sander, said Mr. Irvine. In addition to our regular classroom activities, we spent six weeks in the shop creating laminated wood ducks. Our goal in classroom activities was to discuss the various aspects of industry and how it relates to everyday life, said Mr. Irvin. I really enjoyed the class because I liked using tools I have not used before, said seventh grader Jon Chappie. Mr. Irvine said, The students have to be responsible because power tools can be dangerous when not used properly. They were responsible for shaping the wood to size, smoothing it, and laminating the contrasting colored woods together. The students were able to gain practical application as they used various tools and had fun at the same time, said Mr. Irvine. The students handled the work in the classroom and now have a basic knowledge of industry and how to apply it, ended Mr. Irvine. Industrial Arts 17
