Learning Goals
Students will be able to investigate three building trades and identify the tools, tasks, safety gear, and training pathways associated with each trade.
Students will be able to compare evidence from builders, trade unions, artifacts, and short texts to determine which building trades are in demand in the current market.
Students will be able to document and justify one alternative or second-career pathway in the building trades using research notes and reflections.
Products
Building Trades Investigation Notebook
A research notebook or digital folder that records notes from the launch stations, source comparisons, market-demand evidence, and reflection on one alternative or second-career pathway. It proves individual understanding of three trades and the evidence used to decide which are most in demand.
Three-Trade Career Showcase Presentation
A team slide deck, poster set, or short video that synthesizes each member’s evidence into a clear comparison of three building trades, including market demand, training paths, tools, and safety expectations. The presentation must explain any conflicting findings, show how team members contributed, and end with a recommendation about which trades are most needed in the community.
