Ida B. Wells-Barnett High School – Woods & Metals 3-4

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Woodworking: A continuation of what was learned in first year woodworking. In addition to what was learned in Woodworking /Metalworking 1–2, students will have the challenge to create designs for personal projects and also be able to construct large pieces. Students will have fewer required projects and more freedom to become more independent in woodworking or metalworking. Project possibilities are only limited by size and material availability. All students will participate in a construction based project supported by the Carpenters International Training Curriculum. This may include the building of sheds, doghouses, adirondack chairs or other items as assigned. Metalworking: Students will improve their metalworking skills and learn machinist operations while constructing both assigned projects and projects of their own choice. Advanced metalworking skills will provide an advantage for entering metal working and other mechanical jobs. Service learning and career exploration opportunities are available through local industries for serious students interested in this career choice."
