fandomhigh | Shop Class: [1/9]

As the students enter into the Danger ~~Room~~ Shop, they'll see that it has been transformed into a scrapyard, filled with various mechanical machines, scrap metal etc.

A section of the Junkyard has been put aside for the typical tools you would find in a metal/wood shop.

"Morning Kids. Before we do anything else, we will go over The Rules of the Danger Shop."

After the rules have been gone over, Mac then does Roll Call to make sure everyone is there. Then Mac walks everyone through the safety percautions and techniques to use any of the shop tools.

When that is complete, Mac rolls out a cart that has ground coffee and various types of coffee filters.

Today we are going to build a coffee machine.

To do this you must:
1. Fashion a container and device to boil water
2. Fashion a device to filter water through the coffee grounds
3. Fashion a device to receive the coffee

Notes: There are no Coffee Brewers or Percolators in the Junk Yard. I know. I fixed them. If you find a device that will heat the coffee (hotplate etc), chances are it is broken and you must take the time to fix it. Shop equipment cannot be used as functioning part of the coffee maker. Only to build it.

Questions? Comments? Concerns?

[ooc: okay I need help because I don't know what to do. Does Vic just say "Present" at the roll call thread? Also, how does this thing work, because ~~I don't~~ Victor doesn't really have any expertise with this stuff.]

[reposted because i forgot to preview before posting]

Sorry, a little more explanation is probably necessary for the newbies." The roll call thing was just for me to provide a link to my class roster.

*How to do an assignment*
Ideally we'll be doing a Junkyard Wars/MacGyver type of deal in class. The idea is that you will be finding something around you to fulfill the requirements of the assignment.

For instance, if we were making a cannon I would probably write something like:

Mac went into the scrap pile and returned with a long thin metal pipe, a tennis ball, some scrap metal, a flange, a pipe end cap, a rubber hose and an old air compressor.

Mac then worked on the air compressor to make sure it was working right and fashioned a connective device between the the rubber hose, the flange and the pipe. He then connected the other end of the rubber hose to the air compressor.

Mac dropped the ball into the pipe and turned on the air compressor until the hose was fully pressurized. He then released the flange and ball went off flying somewhere in the direction of his TA's head.

If you don't have time, or can think up anything creatively you have two choices.

1. Wait until other people comment and get inspired from their idea.
2. Do a hand wave by saying *Attempted Assignment: Passed* or *Attempted Assignment: Failed*
3. Get a partner in class and work on an idea together.

You'll get a higher grade for yourself if you complete the assignment IC whereas you'll get an average grade if you do handwavey thing.

Each teacher has their own way of running classes, but I've seen similar methods being used. If the teach doesn't supply something like this, watch how students respond in the classroom and go from there.

[ooc: thanks! *begins to plot*]

[How did I miss that my roommate's clone was in this class? Oh fuuuuuuuuun! Whee!]

[ooc: I have another question. Is there a break room of sorts in the shop? Like, where the teacher would have his own coffee pot? (Don't worry, I don't plan on using anything dealing with an actual coffee maker for my invention) Also, is there a bathroom in the shop? Thanks a lot!]

Heh. I've never been so OCD as to make a Shop Class layout! Please don't make me do one now!

Seriously though: No bathroom. No Coffee machine.

When the room looks like a shop room, it has the typical components of a shop class and machines and a desk for Mac to sit at. There's also a console for the room that folds out of the way, but most of the time Mac uses a remote control for imaging equipment.

There is a storeroom that contains scrap metal, wood, and other supplies for shop assignments that do not involve the use of the Danger shop technology.

[ooc: no worries. actually, after I posted I reread the assignment and realized that there was no need to improvise a coffee filter, since they were provided. oops. :)]

Pssst... what the heck is a Junk Yark? *g*

*groans*

*fixes*

*gleefully awaits to see Death's assignment completed*

*smacks forehead* We didn't have to make a filter, did we? My poor, first-day-of-classes-fried brain.
