Several intermediate performance objectives and corresponding criterion measures are listed for a woodworking course for seventh, eighth, and ninth grade students. The seventh grade section includes seven terminal objectives for a 9-week basic hand woodworking course which includes planning and layout, skill in the use of hand tools, construction and identification of simple joints, and the use of fasteners and finishing methods. The eighth grade section includes 11 terminal objectives in basic hand woodworking. The activities include planning and layout, design and construction, using bill of materials, and finishing procedures. Some machine work is involved also. The ninth grade section is divided into two separate one-semester courses: (1) Woods 1A is a course designed to review, reinforce, and advance knowledge of previously learned woods experience. It incorporates an introduction to machine woodworking and contains 16 terminal objectives. (2) Woods 1B is a basic machine woodworking course designed for those students who wish to take an additional semester course in woodworking. It includes a review of machines and tools with more depth in design and construction and criteria for making a vocational choice. Twenty terminal objectives are included in this section.
