Critical Thinking and Talk for Learning Approaches: Guide learners to brainstorm the meaning of the following with open-mindedness: a) Angle joint/Framing joint. b) Widening joint.
Group work/Collaborative Learning:
- Organise learners into mixed ability groups and assist them to co-operatively identify and passionately classify joints under the following;
1. Angle joints/Framing joints: E.g., Dovetail, Housing, Dowel, Rebate, Box-pin, Barefaced tongue and groove, Mortise and Tenon, Bridle, Mitre, Dowel, Halving.
2. Widening joints: Tongue and groove, Dowel
- Assist learners in mixed ability groups to co-operatively discuss the uses of the following joints:
1. Angle joint/Framing joint.
2. Widening joint. Experiential learning/ Group work/Collaborative Learning Guide learners in mixed ability groups to co-operatively select appropriate joints and use it properly taking into consideration self-Control and work ethics.
