Shop Class; Tuesday, First Period [11/26].
"Morning, everyone," Amaya grinned a little as she nodded her usual greeting to the class. "Sorry you're stuck with at least some classes this weekn, but I thought maybe we'd go a little thematic with this one, since it's another one of those holidays that they seem to love so much out here. Now, I don't know too much about this Thanksgiving thing except that it's some sort of harvest and shopping festival, apparently, and that it involves turkeys, and so that's what we'll be doing today. Turkeys. Not harvesting or shopping, but making turkeys.
"It's going to be a bit of a free period in a way, because while the goal is going to be to make one of these guys," she gestured toward a picture of a turkey she had up on the board for reference, because, hey, you never knew who might not have every actually seen a turkey before, "using some method you've picked up in the class so far. We've got a bunch of scrap metal, if you want to put weld your turkey together from that, go for it. Carve it out of wood, either by whittling or using one of our many saws? That works, too! Sand casting, using your mini-foundries, the pottery wheels? All fair game. Maybe you've even got an idea that I'm missing. Either way, you're making something, and, hopefully, it'll turn out to be at least turkey-shaped. I do have some instructions for a few turkey-related projects if you need a little boost, and, of course, let me know if you've got questions, but if not, let's get to work!"
Hey, at least it was a bit of a step-up from handprint and construction paper turkeys, right?
