The student measured and marked out wood for a footstool project in class. They used tools like a pencil, ruler, and tri-square to mark the wood, then used saws and clamps to begin cutting. Working with a partner, they finished marking and measuring quickly. While the student made progress cutting the arrow shape, they didn't finish in the allotted time and would continue in the next lesson. The lesson related to the environment through the use of wood from trees.

- Measuring and Marking out
Today’s lesson was quite easy, we measured and marked out our footstools.
We had a practice of it when we are making the doorstop, therefore it was a easy
lesson for me.
Today I used some tools. I used pencil, ruler and a tri-square to mark out
my footstool. Also I used tenon saw and a pull saw to cut my footstool. And a
clamp to tight the piece of wood.
I first worked with my partners, because there are at least 2 people are
using one piece of wood, and then we will cut it apart after we mark and measure
it. My partner and I worked quite well, we finished all the things we need to do in
groups really fast. And then I used the tenon saw to start to cut my arrow shape. I
didn’t finish it, because there wasn’t enough time for me. I will be continue
cutting the arrow shape for the next lesson.
Today’s lesson related to environment, because we are using wood which is
related to the environment, the wood are from trees.
