This project is a nice introduction to the workshop and I have used it with much success with year 7 classes as they first start out in the workshop.
The idea is that each student is given a small offcut of pine that they shape and drill the centre out of to turn it into a very small birdbox with an acrylic roof. This is then finished by hand painting before a plastic sharpener is glued inside to make it functional. Most take these home as gifts for family members and a few stay in the classroom for students to use to keep their pencils sharp for future drawing tasks.
The booklet structures the lessons and helps students document their designs, making and evaluations. I have included dimensioned drawings for making and extension work to design packaging to fit around the finished item too. Keywords and space for teacher feedback are also present
