Shop Class; Wednesday, Third Period [10/05].
"Now, as I'm sure the two of you already know," said Amaya, once it was time to get class going, "next week is your school trip, and I've been looking into it a little bit, and one of the places we'll be stopping is Paris, which is home to something called the Eiffel Tower, a massive structure developed by engineer Gustave Eiffel for a World's Fair in 1889 made of what's called puddle iron, which is an iron refined to remove to carbon, constructed in an impressively short amount of time, so, naturally, it's relevant to our interests."
Well, it was relative to hers, anyway.
And, with that, Amaya rolled out a chalkboard so she could start detailing for the students exactly what made the construction of this landmark so interesting, impressive, and, most of all, relevant to their interests, as well, at least in the context of this class.
"So," she said, as she reached the conclusion of the lesson, "today, you're going to recreate your own. I have instructions on how to make a smaller version of an Eiffel tower individually for you to practice and understand the construction, and then I'd like the two of you to try and create a larger version--not 300 meters large, of course--together. I've got a variety of different materials for you to work with, too, so it's up to you to decide how and what and we'll go from there.
"Any questions before we begin?"
