Lesson Plan Template  

Performance Objectives:  

After completion of the lesson, students will be able to:

1.  Identify 2 agencies for safety guidelines 2.  Identify PPE Equipment 3.  Describe shop safety rules 

  

Standards: 

 1. Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking

measurements, or performing technical tasks, attending to special cases or exceptions defined in the text.

2. Translate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text into visual

form (e.g., a table or chart) and translate information expressed visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into words. 

 

Assessment 

 1.  3‐2‐1 Reading Guide. (formative) 2.  AS1‐L1‐U2 Assignment Sheet. (summative)  

Materials: 

 1.  IML Module 1, Unit 2, Student Reference (PDF) 2.  3‐2‐1 Reading Guide  3.  AS1‐L1‐U2 Assignment Sheet.  

Procedure:    Entire Class: Introduction and Method of activating prior knowledge – Write concept on  the board and ask students  to brain storm what  they already know about shop safety.  Individual:  Student reads the provided reading on IML and note there response on 3‐2‐1 Reading guide.   Student rereads assigned text and complete study guide questions. 

Instructor:   MacDonald/Christner/Sipp  

Date:  

 Course Title:   Automotive Service Technology Level 1

 Specific Topic: Shop Safety  

Reading Assignment:   Work Safety in the shop. (IML)

   

Group:   Come together as a class and go over answers on the study guide questions.  Also review vocabulary on 3‐2‐1 Sheet.

  

Application of Material: 

 Today we looked at the basic shop safety procedures to allow students to safe and productive in a shop environment.    

Extension Questions: 

  1.  Can Students compare actions in the shop with appropriate PPE?  2.   Can Students identify proper shop attire for safety?   

Accommodations needed:
