Instructional Strategies: The class begins with an orientation to auto shop and personal safety. Students gain information through lectures with power point presentations, multimedia visual aids, and training videos w/review questionnaires. Students are also given classroom text reading assignments and worksheets to gain additional information. To demonstrate knowledge gained, students complete lab/job assignments. These informational lab assignments center on the following topics:
1. Introduction to Auto Shop and Personal Safety 2. Tools and Equipment 3. Looking for Information 4. Preparing Vehicle for Service 5. Vehicle Service 6. Engine Repair 7. Automatic Transmission 8. Manual Drive Train and Axles 9. Suspension and Steering 10. Brakes 11. Electrical/Electronic Systems 12. Heating and Air Conditioning 13. Engine Performance
During the first semester, 75% of the class time consists of lecture/discussion with 25% live lab work. During the second semester, 25% of the class time is lecture/discussion while 75% is devoted to lab work. For all lab days, students use a lab sheet and complete the activity. As new items or equipment is delivered from various car factories, (e.g., new motors, new cars) the lab program is modified and new labs are developed. Lab activities could also be projects on an automobile, or parts of an automobile. These lab projects may be done on cars that have been brought into the shop by students, faculty, etc (e.g. live work).
To help provide instruction to all students, guest speakers and field
trips are planned. Presentations or guest speakers could come from:
1. Wyoming Technical Institute 2. Universal Technical Institute 3. Sequoia Institute 4. Denver Diesel and Automotive 5. Northern California Drag Racing Association 6. National Drag Boat Racers 7. California Conservation Corp.
8. Skills USA Student Clubs

CALIFORNIA STATE STANDARDS FOR LANGUAGE ARTS
Reading – Gr. 9/10 1.0 Word Analysis, Fluency, and Systematic Vocabulary Development Students apply their knowledge of word origins to determine the meaning of new words
encountered in reading materials and use those words accurately.
Vocabulary and Concept Development 1.1 Identify and use the literal and figurative meanings of words and understand word
derivations. Reading – Gr. 9/10 2.0 Reading Comprehension (Focus on Informational Materials) Students read and understand grade-level-appropriate material. They analyze the organizational
patterns, arguments, and positions advanced. The selections in Recommended Literature, Grades Nine Through Twelve (1990) illustrate the quality and complexity of the materials to be read by students. In addition, by grade twelve, students read two million words annually on their own, including a wide variety of classic and contemporary literature, magazines, newspapers, and online information. In grades nine and ten, students make substantial progress toward this goal. Structural Features of Informational Materials 2.1 Analyze the structure and format of functional workplace documents, including the
graphics and headers, and explain how authors use the features to achieve their purposes.
Comprehension and Analysis of Grade-Level-Appropriate Text 2.6 Demonstrate use of sophisticated learning tools by following technical directions (e.g.,
those found with graphic calculators and specialized software programs and in access guides to World Wide Web sites on the Internet).
Writing – Gr. 9/10 1.0 Writing Strategies Students write coherent and focused essays that convey a well-defined perspective and tightly
reasoned argument. The writing demonstrates students’ awareness of the audience and purpose. Students progress through the stages of the writing process as needed.
Organization and Focus
1.1 Establish a controlling impression or coherent thesis that conveys a clear and distinctive perspective on the subject and maintain a consistent tone and focus throughout the piece of writing.
1.2 Use precise language, action verbs, sensory details, appropriate modifiers, and the active rather than the passive voice.
44
Research and Technology 1.4 Develop the main ideas within the body of the composition through supporting evidence
(e.g., scenarios, commonly held beliefs, hypotheses, definitions). Evaluation and Revision 1.9 Revise writing to improve the logic and coherence of the organization and controlling
perspective, the precision of word choice, and the tone by taking into consideration the audience, purpose, and formality of the context.
2.0 Writing Applications (Genres and Their Characteristics) Students combine the rhetorical strategies of narration, exposition, persuasion, and description to
produce texts of at least 1,500 words each. Student writing demonstrates a command of standard American English and the research, organizational, and drafting strategies outlined in Writing Standard 1.0.
Using the writing strategies of grades nine and ten outlined in Writing Standard 1.0,
students: 2.5 Write business letters:
a. Provide clear and purposeful information and address the intended audience appropriately.
b. Use appropriate vocabulary, tone, and style to take into account the nature of the relationship with, and the knowledge and interests of, the recipients.
c. Highlight central ideas or images. d. Follow a conventional style with page formats, fonts, and spacing that contribute to
the documents’ readability and impact.
2.5 Write job applications and resumés: (LA – Grades 11/12) a. Provide clear and purposeful information and address the intended audience
