Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted September 1, 2017 I have the first amazing "how did you come up with this" for the new school year! The competency assignment instructs the student: Using a square, draw a 1 1/2" X 1 1/2" square on your 2" X 4"! Using a wood chisel and a mallet, chisel out the square to 1/8" depth! Of course all competencies are demonstrated by the instructor prior to the student having to perform the competency! The block on the left is a sample that was performed by one of my students! It is as close to perfect as you can get from a 7th/8th grade student and it is well done! The block on the right is one of my students as well that obviously is confused as to what 1 1/2" X 1 1/2 inch is as well as 1/8th of an inch! The middle square that is obviously not the correct measurement was the students first attempt and the other two, second and third attempt! Moments like this always makes me feel like I must really suck as an instructor!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
