Here are the introductory shop rotations that I used in my 9th grade class. They're designed for students to spend a week in each. Of course some students will move through them quickly and will have time to build projects at the end. Other students will have to be forced to rotate at the end of the week because they haven't completed. This is authentic assessment, not paper and pencil tests. They are also written to meet the Arkansas state frameworks for the second semester of the Introduction to Agriculture Science and Technology.

I do wish to provide a disclaimer for spelling, grammer, and typing errors. Feel free to take the rotations, alter them, and make them your own. Please forgive the handwritten scribbles (additions after discoveries of problems in class) and the awful drawings (I'm not an art teacher for a reason). I hope these will help you get a head start rather than spending years creating materials like I did.

Here's wishing you happy, safe, and harmonious shop classes.

PS. Since the system will only let me attach 5 files at a time I'll have to do them in a series of emails.
