In addition to reading, speaking, and listening projects, my Technical English students will complete a variety of written assignments focused on writing in the vocations. These students love to work with their hands; they are not particularly motivated to write! I wish to provide an opportunity for a kinesthetic project which will form the inspiration for an in-depth writing assignment. These senior-level vocational students will assemble metal construction kits and then write clear, concise expository papers in which they explain the process of construction. They will also be required to present their project to the class and verbally explain the process they used to construct their project. Using metal construction kits will serve my students this semester as well as classes in the coming years.
