Intended for instructors serving the occupational needs of disadvantaged and handicapped students, this curriculum guide contains nine units for a carpentry program. Its purposes are to provide minimum skills for students entering the mainstream, supplement vocational skills of students already mainstreamed, and provide vocational instructional materials for the modified classroom. Teachers should adapt these self-paced and self-contained instructional materials to suit teaching/learning situations. These nine units are included: Job Opportunites in Carpentry, Reading and Measuring with Rulers, Lumber Selection and Measurement, Cutting with Hand Saws, Uses of Nails and Hammers, Using a Hand Plane, and Using a Wood Chisel. Each unit contains these sections: (1) unit objectives and self-assessment statements; (2) introduction (motivational statement); (3) description of tools, materials, and equipment; (4) steps of procedure (explanation and illustration of given skill); and (5) student evaluation (true-false, identification, or steps of procedure).
