Course description and purpose:
Enduring Understandings (EUs): [for
teacher use] [6-10 things that you want kids
to know and be able to do in life because
they’ve had this class]
EUs:
- are the targeted understandings, are
enduring (transferable, big ideas, core
principles at the heart of the discipline) and in
need of uncoverage
- have lasting value beyond the classroom
- are applicable to new situations within or
beyond the subject
- are stated clearly and specifically
- are framed as generalizations specific
enough to guide teaching and assessing and
overreaching enough to enable transfer
[Wiggins & McTighe]
1. Understanding blueprints and the symbols
on those blueprints are important skill in the
welding field.
2. Arc Welding is an important welding
process used for the fabrication of steel
structures and vehicles.
Essential Questions (EQs): [6-10 things that
you want to make sure kids can do on a final
project/assessment… students should be
able to answer these at the end of each unit]
EQs:
- are open-ended; there isn’t a single, final,
correct answer
- are thought-provoking and intellectually
engaging, often sparking discussion and
debate
- call for higher-order thinking – analysis,
inference, evaluation, and prediction
- point toward important, transferable ideas
within (and sometimes across) disciplines
- raise additional questions and encourage
further inquiry
- require support and justification, not just an
answer
- recur… beg to be revisited over time
- are written as a question
[Wiggins & McTighe]
1. What is the importance of welding symbols
on blueprints?
2. What variables would you make you
choose the Arc welding process for a certain
project?
3. MIG welding is the most popular industrial
welding process due to speed and ease of
use.
3. What variables would you make you
choose the MIG welding process for a certain
project?
4. TIG welding is a process used primarily for
welding thin material such as stainless steel
and other non-ferrous alloys.
4. What variables would you make you
choose the TIG welding process for a certain
project?
5. Plasma cutters are used to cut different
thicknesses of material with high heat
combined with high speed air.
5. What factors will affect the quality of cut on
a plasma cutter?
6. Gas torches are used to cut thick material
by combining Acetylene and Oxygen.
6. How does adding oxygen to Acetylene
create a flame hot enough to cut metal?
