Notes:
Phoebe had to remake the project several times and is showing signs of temper/frustration she has a habit
of a temper and walking out of class - monitor carefully and unobtrusively help where possible (subtly help
as constant questioning or offers of help will only increase frustration)
Phoebe is almost done her project
Angus has learning difficulties and often doesnt have correct footwear - set work and monitor, he is doing a
wooden spoon.
Some students often try to not work and they will also ask the teacher to do it for them when they are
capable of doing it themselves but doesnt want to need to be constantly monitored and motivated
One group tend to chat and egg each other into misbehaving - monitor and provide continual feedback and
instructions for their work
A few of the good workers will do their work but get easily distracted by chatting monitor and redirect to
work as necessary
Miky has promised to glue her project and draw out her drawer, get on to her.
Ensure the students whom cut their towel rack materials out, are marking out the sides and using the
coping saws.
Josh needs to find or recut his sides of his towel rack
