• School tour and Automotive Technology shop tour - Hooks / Set

  I will take the students on a tour of the entire campus.  As we walk, I will explain to each team and individual students the importance of time management and class location as it related to business practices and basic work ethic. Knowing the location of and the time needed to get to the student's employment and to be to class on time is important. This relates to the auto shop as a viable business. I will take the students to the different class locations. Finally, all students will learn each location, including the storage container and its contents, proper parking locations and the security of vehicles in the gated area.

  I will put the students in small groups of 3 to 5 per team, dependent on the particular class size at the time of the activity. The activity will include environmental conditions and concerns of working outside. Each team will use a clip board with a school map and some note paper to record all of the locations as we tour the areas.
